“Portland Sky 2023” is an acrylic and mixed media collage for submission in ArtsWorcester’s Impact show. This piece is inspired by two of the Fitchburg Art Museums pieces – “Bulldoze Slash, Tillamook Oregon” and “Gulf Piles.” I was born in just outside Portland with extended family in the area. In this piece, Mt. Hood dominates the Portland skyline, but all natural elements are replaced by trash and plastic, where the man made buildings and road are made up of natural materials. Thank you to my cousin Darrell Gossett for reference photos to work from.
