INVISIBILIA AND 1,000 MOONS

June 22-August 13

A joint exhibition featuring Sandra Honda, Mei-Ling Lee, and Jefferson Goolsby and Emily Jung Miller.

Invisibilia
June 22 – August 13
Sandra Honda, Mei-ling Lee, and Jefferson Goolsby
Examining Asian/American identities through photographic journals, mixed media, multimedia and performances, three Oregon artists, Sandra Honda, Mei-ling Lee, and Jefferson Goolsby, share insights and perceptions of historical and contemporary experiences. Weaving together personal and imagined stories of daily life, family, trauma, and generational grief from mass incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry, the works portray beautiful and haunting details of loss and displacement. Exploring how people navigate identity in an ever-shifting cultural landscape, the creative works question beliefs, and assumptions while offering opportunities to view the world differently.

1,000 Moons
June 22 – August 13
Emily Jung Miller – emerging artist
In the months after her grandparents’ deaths from COVID, Emily Jung Miller struggled to stay grounded, and the understanding of time became distorted and unreal. As a connection to both grandparents, and to the natural cycles of time, Miller hand-formed 40 oversize sheets of paper with kelp, sheet music, and other materials linked to their history. Cutting the sheets to create a total of 1,175 collaged ‘moons’, Miller represented each full moon in her grandmother’s 94 years of life. Stringing the moons together to form a meditative corridor of time, the installation creates a physical pathway of memories, allowing viewers a visual and physical path or remembrance for all who have lost, and recall how many moons we saw together.

Gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday noon-6 pm.The Riser

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
