The Gathering Project is a site-specific temporary installation proposal to create functional and sculptural ‘bio-anchor’ forms (sculptural forms that aid in ecology) that are an homage to human cultures, flora & fauna of past, and is a direct reclamation of Indigenous space. The NW Portland Park installation aimed to positively support and engage the community in the interconnectedness of all beings. The project details the process of an independent artist going through the public art process within Portland. The full project will be able to read as a ‘living thesis’ on this site in May 2025 as a tool and archive of the entire project. The initial fundraiser was held at the wonderful, Stelo Arts, with much success! Support The Gathering Project here - Venmo. The works featured are: The Teepee, The Bench, The Table, and The Circle.
