Cheyenne Montgomery, Portland, Oregon.



headless

Cheyenne Montgomery's best work represents precisely what our ambiguously-defined group aspires to be about- showing the beauty in and dignity of our ordinary daily doings. Her work is endlessly empathetic, not given to cloy poses or the veneer of cuteness. I recall the inane, indignant comments one image (in the gallery linked below) received regarding the cleanliness of Montgomery's tub, as though our lives had to be relieved of their inherent messes before we dared present them. Her images remind you what an important matter it can be to merely "see how we are." gallery.

Empty Bowls Project NE


View Larger Map 


On Sunday, August 11 from 2-4 we'll have an informal meeting at the Coffee Shop NE to gauge interest in hosting the 1st "Empty Bowls Project" in Northeast Minneapolis. For anyone not familiar, Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to address hunger. Artists offer bowls, vendors provide a simple meal of soup. Guests donate whatever they can, and keep the vessel. All proceeds are then given to causes of our choosing. More here: http://www.emptybowls.net/
