Lori’s Notebook

Keep A Breast Exhibition

October 5, 2016

1

Last week a friend of mine, who also happens to be a breast cancer survivor, invited me to a truly amazing show opening. It is called Keep A Breast Treasured Chest, sponsored by the Keep A Breast foundation. The show featured the body casts of 14 breast cancer survivors which were subsequently painted by 14 different artists – each castee was paired with an artist, and the results were stunning. The gallery space, which is part of the Sentinel Hotel in downtown Portland, is intimate in size and the perfect setting for this potent work.

Here are the pieces, which speak for themselves. I have named the artists, but not the “castees” for privacy purposes. (The pink cast above was painted by Annamieka Hopps Davidson).

  • 2022 Graduation Quilts

    My Graduation Quilt Project hit its pinnacle this year with the largest number of graduates in a single year, one of which included my son, Lee.

  • Ted’s Atrium

    Perhaps because there are several architects in my own family, or perhaps because I find architecture’s intersection between art and design so compelling, I experienced a sense of excited nervousness at the outset of this memorial quilt project.

  • Roy’s Light

    During my initial conversation with clients, the first thing I ask is for them to share a little bit about their loved one who died.
