Sarah Louise Laws is an artist living in her native Portland, Oregon. Spending half of her childhood growing up in Southern California and the past 5 years living on the East Coast, she is inspired to be back again in her hometown and original Northeast Portland neighborhood.

She graduated with a degree in Sculpture from Portland State University and also studied Accessory Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Working with paper and knife, her recent work for her show "Plants and Animals" features hand-cut paper art. She is inspired by the personal narrative, dreams and emotions, domesticity, folk art, flora and fauna, travel, and things made by hand.

CONTENT

Portland Paper City is an installation collaborative showcasing abstract, figurative, and architectural representations of the City of Portland through the art of papercraft and paper sculpture.
Spearheaded by designers, Marisa Green, Jessie Bazata, Sean Garrison, and Rory Phillips, Portland Paper City has united the community, as well as emerging and established artists in the
Portland area, by inviting them to contribute work that represents their love of Portland.
Original papercraft templates including people, vehicles, and animals have been provided for the public to download, craft and submit to the installation at www.portlandpapercity.com. Area artists are also invited to contribute unique paper works that are inspired by Portland.

This exhibition was made possible by Art Spark, a creative networking event put on by the Regional Arts and Culture Council. In March of 2010 Portland Paper City entered a proposal to show at Disjecta. The public voted and Portland Paper City won.
Portland Paper City, an all paper installation collaborative, is being exhibited at Disjecta from Saturday, March 5, 2011 through Saturday, March 26, 2011. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, March 5, 2011 from 6PM-9PM.

Daymoanstar @ Lyrik

Vaughn Anderton aka Daymoanstar is the first of many monthly music acts to play at Lyrik.  I met the Pendleton native this summer while he was playing at a house show and his potential for great things in the music scene in Portland is obvious.  He's a tremendous spirit which carries into his stage presence making for a show you wind up smiling through (not an easy feat in a town with such a strong showing in the somber, shoe-gazing, indie rock genre).  If you missed the show, check out the photos below and go visit Daymoanstars myspace.
-Breedom.

Lyrik and Breedom will be teaming up to bring you live music on the third Thursday of each month.  Keep an ear to the ground for the lineup for the show on February 17th.
