20. Fairmount and Columbia
Fairmount and Columbia
Description
This brightly colored print depicts a street scene where the street weaves in and out of the picture plane. The curves give way to a supporting cast of highly patterned retaining walls and groves of trees. A bright yellow family of ducks crosses the road from the bottom left hand corner of the piece. This piece is one of the Eugene series prints done in collaboration with Bill Bradish. Both McCorkle and Braddish intended to leave Eugene and decided to celebrate and commemorate their time in Eugene by doing an homage of those places in town which they had found representative of the essence of Eugene. Oregon in general seems to be about abrupt geological shifts. This particular intersection, with one street going dramatically up and the other dramatically down, was a visual symbol of that beauty and surprise one associates with Oregon landscape. The duck crossing was borrowed from Patterson near 13th Avenue and imposed upon the more mountainous scene, which was then modified with blue grass to give the ducks a place to go. Basically the artists' intention was to play with space--stretching and mocking the conventions of atmospheric and linear perspective--and to create a playful tribute to an area we both cared about.
