Current Exhibition

they would prefer to be a cloud, fastened to the rock by Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos.)

"they would prefer to be a cloud, fastened to the rock," by Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos)

April 3-May 3, 2023

The Alexander Gallery is pleased to present "they would prefer to be a cloud, fastened to the rock," an exhibition of work by Portland-based artist, Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos). This exhibition runs April 3-May 3. An artist reception will be held Wednesday, April 12, noon-1 p.m. and Siestreem will speak about her work at 1 p.m.

In "they would prefer to be a cloud, fastened to the rock," Siestreem utilizes ceremonial traditions of her ancestors, combined with contemporary modes and materials of making to explore painting, photography, printmaking, weaving and large-scale installation. Visual elements inspired by biologic life cycles, geologic and hydrodynamic events, and astronomic elements inspire her painted works.

Siestreem is a master artist from the Umpqua River Valley on the South Coast of Oregon. Her work has been supported by a Forge Project Fellowship, the Oregon Arts Commission, the Potlatch Fund and Oregon Community Foundation. For further information about this exhibition, contact Kate Simmons at 503-594-3032 or kates@clackamas.edu.

The Alexander Gallery is located in the Niemeyer Center at Clackamas Community College. The gallery is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. with the exception of campus holidays. Admission is free.
