"Reconstructing East Burnside" -- Portland, Oregon -- Archival Fine Art Print
NOTE: The paper I used for this print is discontinued, so I am low on these prints that were printed on the Japanese off-white Kozo paper, but if you really love this print, I can make it available on standard white archival paper (it looks beautiful too!) Just email me to start the order. The prices will be the same as listed.
I photographed the East Burnside area for a client and it allowed me to take a closer look at this unique microcosm where all types of small businesses and residential buildings coexist. It is in the process of being taken over by development. I decided I wanted to depict a scene of the area where change is occurring so we could see the contrast of the old and the new.
Through this work, I want to raise the issue of balancing new growth with preserving our history, retaining long-term residents, and considering the unique culture of Portland. I walk the streets photographing Portland. Then I combine many photographic elements together. I can envision spatial connections along with location, cultural, and historical synchronicities and see how all these can be connected and juxtaposed in a single, cohesive, and meaningful scene.
