Finding drama in Oregon: LAPC

Finding drama in branches haphazardly woven together

Willow fence at headquarters, Malheur NWR, Oregon

Or planted in concise rows bearing intoxicating fruit

Vineyard in front of airplane waterpark, Evergreen Air & Space Museum, McMinnville, Oregon

Finding drama in light from the clouds and moon

JIA Asian Street Kitchen restaurant, Bend, Oregon

Or in crystalline blocks, fractured by treasures within

Lair exhibition in 2022, High Desert Museum, Oregon

Finding drama in lookouts towering over wild lands

Lookout Tower at P-Ranch, Malheur NWR, Oregon

Or in pagodas, harmonizing with manicured landscapes

Pagoda sculpture, Portland Japanese Garden, Oregon
