Current Exhibition
"Living Remnants" by Jim Spillman
June 25 - July 31, 2025
The Clackamas Community College Alexander Gallery presents “Living Remnants,” a solo exhibition of work by Mulino-based artist Jim Spillman. This exhibition runs June 25-July 31 and samples 20-years of Spillman’s studio arts practice. An artist reception will be held Thursday, June 26, 3-4:30 p.m.
In “Living Remnants” photographs, paintings, mixed media sculptural assemblages and literary works are showcased utilizing shape, form and text to call attention to the landscape, history of surfaces and human interactions with them.
Spillman was raised in Pennsylvania and moved to Oregon in 1959 where he pursued a career in architecture and became well known for his eco-friendly homes in the Portland area. His sensitivity and concern for the natural landscape and human impact on it continues to be a persistent thread in his exploration of making art.
The Alexander Gallery is located in the Niemeyer Center at Clackamas Community College. It is open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. with the exception of campus holidays. Admission is free. For more information, contact Kate Simmons at 503-594-3032 or kates@clackamas.edu.
