Sonríe Hoy, Llora Mañana
No full textI share two excerpts from my collection of memoirs Sonríe Hoy, Llora Mañana. The pieces Oraciones de Mama and The God in Long Beach is Different depict the realities of mental health, death, and religion as I saw them as a first-generation American child of Mexican-immigrant parents. These stories give an insight to the challenges of reckoning with the murder of a loved one while trying to grapple with the fear that grew out of it. Within that complexity, the family tries to fix the brokenness

Created in 2010, the Vintage Report is an annual forum that aims to gather the wine industry’s most prominent vintners and scientists to discuss the previous vintage, present the latest innovative research, and share technical advances in viticulture and enology. The goal is to foster innovation for sustainable advancements in winemaking through scientific presentations and lectures from the industry’s leading minds. The Vintage Report aims to combine scientific results with empirical knowledge and experience. Topics discussed are deeply rooted in the region where the forum is held, and the analysis delivered at the Vintage Report is driven by vineyard data that paints a picture of local terroir

Artist\u27s Statement
This exhibit explores spaces that are not clearly defined. I look to convey images (as well as the entire gallery space) that contain and hold power that is difficult to put a finger on. The concept seems simple--find inspiration and get on the PATH. Traveling from theory to practice however, generally involves uncertainty and change. The direction is bound to deviate.
I attempt to inspire awe with my art. I cultivate a bold imagination, and I am always open to breaking the rules. The struggle, frequently, is to say enough but not too much. Intelligence appears within the materials and the moment. I attempt to listen and to be a channel. I undulate and move through space as does the SKY. I listen and pause until the moment is right. I begin with very little direction regarding images. Observation followed by questions. Answers eventually arrive and I feel as if I am a small boy making a new discovery. If I listen close enough and/or long enough I am moved as if I was in a DREAM.
I enjoy the process. Depending on the media, I sometimes work with deconstructed and reconstructed images, organic lines and forms. Carving requires time and is extremely physical. Painting can happen in a moment. Additive and/or subtractive treatments become very fluid. The challenges and rewards are unimaginable.
Being a maker is central to my core and I find it incredibly necessary for life. Working in a variety of media is a great way to inform ourselves about abilities, strong points or weaknesses. In this exhibit I am exploring painting and ceramics which are both new twists for me. As for “next moves,” I would also like to try weaving and dying natural materials.
I hope this show encourages students (and we’re all students) who struggle to find their voice, or who do not yet understand just how much freedom we have as artists.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/arts_path/1005/thumbnail.jp

Pear Bloom

Artist Statement Hello! My name is Keith Rasmussen, and I am a senior at Linfield College. Coming in to college, I wasn’t too sure on what I’d actually do. I didn’t have any goals, and no true aspirations. I’ve now decided on trying for sound design in movies and/or games. This led to me declaring Electronic Arts as my major and Music as my minor. Having played cello for almost eleven years, I felt that I didn’t want to drop all the hard work I’d put in. I grew up in Tacoma, WA and always enjoyed playing music in school. In high school, I even joined a group called the Tacoma Youth Symphony, and participated in that for four years. I did not know I’d be doing photography in college, but here we are, and we’re having fun.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/arts_reconnecting/1058/thumbnail.jp

Artist Bio and Statement My Name is Dustin Lau. I am a Senior Electronic Arts Major at Linfield College. My medium has been mainly photography, with one performance piece that was documented for class with photography. My work began with a focus on portraiture; however, during the start of this year I wanted to shift my focus from people to that of street photography. I believed that the photographs that I could take of the streets and the life within the streets could help to tell a story as well as document its life, and moreover allow others to see a glimpse into how I see the world through photography. As such, my series Timelessness was created. A lot of the inspiration for this series came from street photographer Melissa Breyer and her inspiration for finding the hidden stories behind the images that she took. I see my work within the art world as being an exploration and, in some way, documentation of life around where I am currently living, using my camera to give that feeling of something that can stand through the test of time and look like it can be from any time period.
As such, my intention for my images is that I aim to capture those timeless feelings with a focus on the quiet moments using my photography with people who are just going about their day. I want to use my photos to document the town and its people as well as get a glimpse into how I see the world through photography. We go throughout our lives so fast that we don’t take the time to stop and enjoy what is happening now, such as the things we do for our jobs or for ourselves.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/arts_reconnecting/1049/thumbnail.jp
