In Situ: Refugia

Refigium: an area in which a population of organisms can survive through a period of unfavorable conditions, especially glaciation. Plural: Refugia.

This body of work is a commentary on our rapidly changing environment, focusing primarily on the animals and glacial bodies that challenge refugia due to current geographic upheavals.

Whales are lifted from their ocean haven to sift through beautiful but foreboding skies. Arctic seascapes reveal beauty while conceding to inherent fragility. Icebergs and glaciers take their last stand as sentinels of the sea.

Amy Ruppel grew up in the Wisconsin woods just a short hike away from the Kettle Moraine Ice Age Center, inspiring an interest in science and nature from a young age. This fascination has always informed her creative output. She’s adept at many different media with a portfolio spanning digital illustration, drawing, painting and print-making. 

Show opens Saturday, February 8th from 3-5pm.

This show runs through March 22, 2020.

We’re thrilled to welcome Peter Nevins to Land on Saturday, February 16th from 2-5pm for a free printmaking demonstration.

Peter will be brining a large collection of his latest prints for an exhibition and will be on-hand to discuss his techniques.

His process of carving into giant wood blocks to create multiple layers is a true wonder to behold in person. You’ll see the depth texture of each layer come to life.

Colby Nichols of Creative Director at Jolby & Friends and the Father of Noodle Buddies is coming to our booth at the Mississippi Street Fair this Saturday, July 14th from 10am to 6 pm with a brand new project.

He’s created, drawn, named and signed over 100 different ramen illustrations and created a custom, human-powered vending machine booth to sell them out of.

Without giving away too many spoilers, you can see his sketches of this TARDIS-like device in these secret plans we obtained from Noodle Buddy HQ.

We’ll be on hand with Adam K. Kurtz as he reads from my new book THINGS ARE WHAT YOU MAKE OF THEM in the lobby of the Ace Hotel in downtown Portland. 
DRY Sparkling is sending us free drinks and Land staff will be on hand to sell books to be signed.

Adam describes the event as “It’ll be really cute and low key so come by and hang out and let’s talk about the fun anxiety that comes with ‘being a creative’ and ‘trying to make things.'”
