Crystal Schenk MFA '07 and Shelby Davis MFA '08 Opening reception: Saturday November 21, 2009, 6-9 pm Their proposed sculpture—a life-size semi-truck cab constructed out of drywall—will be on display and open to the public in early November. The project is their first artistic collaboration. “(The semi-truck) simultaneously represents freedom and movement to us, in conjunction with dominance and waste,” Schenk said. Drywall used in the project was reclaimed from past projects. About Crystal Schenk: A 2007 Master of Fine Arts graduate from Portland State University, Schenk won the International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award in 2006. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Switzerland, New York, Chicago, and Portland. She teaches at Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland State University, and Portland Community College. About Shelby Davis: Originally from South Carolina, Davis is a multimedia artist who focuses on sculpture and often incorporates found materials. He has had solo shows in the Carolinas and in a variety of Portland venues, and with his collaborative arts group, PAINTALLICA!, his work has been shown at Portland’s Time-Based Arts festival, as well as in Los Angeles and Tennessee. |
