My favorite little gallery in Portland is
Antler. The title of their current group show is fairly self explanatory. More and more
creatures teeter on the edge of oblivion and more and more fall off that
edge every year. A new mass extinction event like the one that killed off the dinosaurs is well under way. And it depresses the hell out of me. But small glimmering bits of light may circle such ominous events and this show is an example. 20% of sales go to the
Audobon Society of Portland which does some very fine work. Not that they can do anything to slow the crisis or even make a dent, but we must look for light wherever we find it, especially in the dark.
