Individual Powers
Description
Inspiration for both sculputral form and text is the concept that each individual citizen does make a difference; that in government as well as in society the "whole" is measured by the sum of its parts. Quotations about importance of th eindividual's role in goverment and in society are etched into mosaic, sometimes bridging more than one section so that a viewer must hunt for the connecting text. Front Entry: 3 Sections--Sculpture in front of the building invites the viewer to sit for a moment and ask: "What is this about?" "Where can I find more information?" The color and dramatic shapes, located to the right of entry, counterbalance the canopy. Back Patio: 5 sections--These colorful, randomly-strewn puzzle pieces enliven the back patio and encourage the viewer to linger, to sit and connect with others, or to come down from second story and investigate., http://www.hkmeehan.com/; http://kathleenmeehan.com/, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

Murase Studio was selected by the Oregon Fire Service and the Oregon Arts Commission to design and develop a statewide memorial that honors firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives in the line of duty. Located in the new Oregon Public Safety Academy, the memorial is designed to evoke solace and inspiration to those who continue to serve and also to the public it protects. The design incorporates a granite wall with a bronze Maltese cross that lists the names of those fallen and a black granite stripe in the plaza with the inscription, "In the Line of Duty."

Description
Diagonal and horizontal lines with a thick border. Various colors of blues, reds, yellows, and reds. The diagonal lines start thick at the corners, but thin out as they get to the middle., Judy Fawkes; mental health; © Woodrow Blettel, Judith Poxson Fawkes, a resident of Portland, Oregon, is a graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art. She taught weaving at four institutions of higher education, most recently at Lewis and Clark College, Portland. Her fifty-six commissions hang in such diverse locations as a Federal courthouse, hospitals, university and school buildings, corporations and businesses, a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship, residences in Saudi Arabia and Paris, and in a jail lobby. Sixty-three tapestries are in public collections. She is a recipient of a WESTAF/NEA Regional Fellowship for Visual Artists, an Individual Artists' Fellowship from the Oregon Art Commission and a Crafts Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts. She has written a book entitled "Weaving a Chronicle," described as a visual and written catalog by a working tapestry weaver. Forty-six tapestries, pictured in color, are accompanied by adjacent text describing the reasons for each work's creation. Stories of the tapestries revisit commissions and exhibitions. Each tapestry represents seminal ideas in one of six series. The tapestries contribute to the chronicle of how ideas are conceived and executed-- adding to the history of American art and craft, and to the definition of contemporary tapestry.
