February 12–28, 2010

Land gallery will present WEST, a mixed-media (papercut, collage, drawing, pattern and installation) project by Portland artists Sarah Baugh and Nicole Lavelle. Natives of Idaho and California, these two now call Oregon home. Together they will muse on their place within the great American West.

WEST features studies in materials and narrative, and the show’s collaboration will reveal a synthesized cobbling of shared and individual experience. Baugh and Lavelle draw from graphic design, craft and art to wrangle an understanding of the pioneering spirit and the natural beauty of our region.
