Paula Rebsom at Tilt Gallery and Project Space

Portland, OR - For the month of April, Tilt Gallery and Project Space is pleased to present a new body of work by Portland artist Paula Rebsom.  Developed during a month-long residency at the prestigious Ucross Foundation, Outskirts continues Rebsom's investigation into the complex relationships of humans and animals. In this series, a prairie dog town sets the stage for Rebsom to explore issues of urban sprawl and development.  Small handmade house-facades were fabricated for each burrow, creating a visual map of the prairie dog town. The images that result act as historical documents, offering a different perspective in the complex relationships that we have developed with animals and nature.
 
Outskirts will be on exhibit from April 3-26, 2008 at Tilt Gallery and Project Space, 625 NW Everett #106, Portland, Oregon. An opening reception for the artist will be held Thursday April 3, from 6-9pm.   NEW spring gallery hours are Thursdays and Saturdays noon-5pm, and by appointment.
 
Paula Rebsom received her MFA from the University of Oregon in 2004.  Her work has been exhibited locally at the Autzen Gallery at Portland State University and Blackfish Gallery.  Upcoming projects include a solo exhibit for the Portland Building Installation series.  Most recently, Rebsom was the recipient of an Individual Artist Fellowship awarded through the Oregon Arts Commission.  Her work has been reviewed in the Portland Mercury, the Daily Vanguard, PORT, and Visual Codec.  This is Rebsom's second solo exhibition at Tilt.
