Memories and moments theme: "Tell a story in 5 frames"

Every day there are thousands of memories that we experience. Everything we do leads to another. Everything we do affects us as well as everyone you interact with and who they interact with. We are left with the inability to control these moments. No matter what you do, something will effect this wave of moments.

We want to see these moments captured in a painting or collage. We are going to send you five 3x3 inch canvases. What moment leads you to the next?

PUBLIC ART IN PORT TOWNSEND

If you've got any claim to Port Townsend, be it past, present or future, please make your voice heard regarding public art in Port Townsend. There's potential for new Public Art in Port Townsend and this is the time to get in your say while the process is in its earliest stages.

Public Art impacts everybody.

Consider public spaces, how you use them, how they could serve you better; consider what you like and don't like about living in/visiting Port Townsend. I encourage you to let the City of Port Townsend know what is important to you about this town and how art could support that.

Please, help get the word out far and wide about this opportunity--pass this along to anyone who might have something to say!

Thank you so much for your time.

Filter is a hand-bound literary journal that features original poetry, prose, art and erasures. The book is sewn together by hand using various colors of waxed Irish Linen thread and an exposed spine binding with a modified button-hole binding technique. End papers are hand torn and come from various sources including Japanese Washi paper, pages from Apgar’s Plant Analysis Adapted to All Botanies (1892) (some of which include the notes, illustrations and actual flower pressings of a Mr. D.A. Powell made in the Spring of 1904), and color plates from Travelling With The Birds (1933). Books feature an accordion-fold erasure booklet made from hand torn Rives Heavyweight paper, each hand printed using 10 separate ink screens and slipped into hand made envelopes created from pages of old books about magic and maps featuring nations that no longer exist. All of the color artwork is tipped in by hand. There are two different cover designs (Aardvark & Aardwolf) by Amy Jean Porter (Jubilat, McSweeny’s). The covers are each screen printed by hand, using 3-4 screens and 7 colors.
