While I am neither an expert on Star quilts nor Wally Dion\u2019s work, I appreciated how the traditional quilt pattern\u2014representing the basic, natural materials Indigenous people used to make necessities like clothing, quilts, and such during early reservation life\u2014is juxtaposed with the present-day dependence on technology. Few people truly understand the language and inner-workings of computers, yet so many find comfort and a sense of security in the unknown. Wally\u2019s art beckons the question, \u201cwhy?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Portland Art Museum\u2019s Curator of Native American Art Kathleen Ash-Milby, \u201cThe resulting sculptural work plays with our expectations [&#8230;] Soft, comforting cloth has been replaced with rigid material, and the surface is visually complex with a multitude of mechanical, sharp protrusions.\u201d The five of us who were in attendance had unique takeaways as

I was asking myself questions like: Where did all of these materials come from? How long did this take him? Did he have any help? (But I couldn\u2019t get <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">too close<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for fear of setting off the alarm that was installed to protect this piece.)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Molly Barnaby, customer service manager, and Jessica Lynne Henkle, copy editor and project manager, immediately pointed out that the design reminded them of farmland from an aerial view from an airplane, with crops plotted in the different rectangles and cities in the areas that show more circuit boards, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily Pillard, marketing manager, thought it was interesting how the metal hanging mechanism mimicked the kind used for fabric quilts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breanna Briggs, editor in chief, commented on how Wally is able to transform circuit boards\u2014an inherently rigid and mechanical medium so very different from fabric\u2014and recreate the sensory experience of a quilt. She loved the strategic use of color to emulate the Star pattern. By incorporating detailed components like diodes, transistors, and capacitors, he succeeded in simulating the tactile qualities of traditional quilting. It\u2019s very intricate and thoughtful. You can absolutely feel his own appreciation for the craft of quilting through this piece.

From diverse geographies, cultures, and time periods, artists have consistently created images, objects, and experiences that ask us to consider ourselves and the world around us from different perspectives. Visitors will encounter playful groupings that reveal how artists shape processes, materials, and forms into compelling and meaningful artworks. Organized by themes of portraiture and representation, views of the land and environment, and unexpected uses of imagery, ephemeral materials, and color, the exhibition prompts us to think about the objects in the collection as jumping off points for stories and conversations that foster a greater sense of connection among us.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\"
