Eadweard Muybridge’s glass negatives were scraped and reused, ultimately recycled for use in building greenhouses because the glass was valuable. Frank Hurley, the ship photographer on the 1914 Antarctic expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, retrieved most of his glass plate negatives and camera equipment by diving for them as their ship, the Endurance, was sinking while being crushed by the ice. I thought about these things this year as I was starting to clean out my long-saved trove of negatives and my vast treasure of Kodachrome slides. I followed the reporting of fellow photographers using pandemic time to digitize their archives. But it was a line in a blog post that halted me with this question: who will care, or even have the equipment, to retrieve those digital resources after you’re gone? So began this year’s commitment to actually print what is important to me. For this NW Drawers project, I set about thinking about the utter confusion of learning how to read a negative when I first started printing black and white photographs over forty years ago. And then one day, I was able to “see” the negative without effort, and I thought they were beautiful. So it came to be that this work, created by finding good compositions within my much larger still life photographs, became a way for me to explore the literal positive and negative images and the shapes created by combining the opposite images.

Large enough that I had to print it in two pieces. Exciting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1515307711103-0XAUFOY4CF9HW9Y01NZ7/Deb_Stoner_F_Still_Winter_2016.jpg What is going on!!

Dave Miller is the host of OPB’s daily talk show, and I gotta tell you, that guy is smart, genuine, funny, and he really listens. Live radio is stressful, (no, really, it is!) but he makes it seem to be just a normal everyday thing to do. Which, of course, it is for him. And because of his great skill at figuring out how to ask questions about visual art on live radio, well, he made it fun to be interviewed. Here’s another one of my 15 minutes of fame talking about taking part in a traveling exhibit called “Art About Agriculture”, a juried show overseen by Owen Premore at Oregon State University. Here’s a link to the Think Out Loud segment from June 7, 2022, that you can listen to anytime you want. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1555098984828-VZUK4UEZ9JOBGH9CBGQF/20190411_164017.jpg What is going on!! - Garden Studies My solo exhibition at Imogen Gallery in Astoria, Oregon, April 13 through June 4, 2019. Artist reception is April 13 from 5-8pm, as well as an additional art walk on May 11, also 5-8pm. “Garden Studies” are exactly that, the work of looking closely at two exquisite gardens in Portland, an old and beloved old garden in Vancouver, a natural area at the edge of Summer Lake, and the Vegetable Breeding farm at OSU in Corvallis. An opportunity at using a large scale printed let me make these prints at a scale that is truly exciting to me, and truly overwhelming to the tiny gallery. With sincere thanks to Teri Sund at Imogen for inviting me to show my work. As these opportunities will often do, this one gave me the push to just focus on the work, not worry about the framing. And the timing couldn’t be better, with Portland’s Photo Month, and lots of photographers traveling around the Pacific Northwest. Welcome! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1515350069347-FLCS85TZ2RS0CQHD7RCA/Deb-Stoner-EW4A3705-fix.jpg What is going on!! - Flora A solo show of my color still life photography, curated by MaryAnn Deffenbaugh of Vernissage Fine Art, in partnership with Guild Mortgage, at 1953 NW Kearney St, Portland.

I went last week to drop off my work, and was so happy to encounter a little bit of the old normal. A beautiful show of John Baldessari prints, an active installation in Nine Gallery by Bill Will, a little peek at how LaBrie Rich sees the world, (at least a tiny bit of Japan), and then the sudden infusion of life in the Pacific Northwest Viewing Drawers where I’m showing my work through next March. Check the hours before you go, wear a mask, and enjoy yourself at this wonderful place of calm, beauty, creativity, and kindness.

You can see it here on facebook, https://www.facebook.com/flypdx/videos/920113238451499/ or if you don’t use facebook, you can use this link to go to the flypdx blog where the video is embedded, and scroll all the way to the end to watch it from there: https://portside.portofportland.online/2020/04/pdx-live-join-us-for-virtual-performances-and-conversations-with-local-artists/ I gotta tell you, this experience has helped me gain empathy with all the amazing artists, musicians, dancers, poets, and other performers pivoting with creative approaches to showing their work. The best of them make it seem effortless. It is not. On Tuesday, June 2, 2020, it was clear that there were events in the world that seemed so much more important than my previously scheduled presentation. Assured by the crew at flypdx that we could cancel the event if I wanted to, I took a tearful pause to reflect on the opportunity to simply share some beauty with an audience who might need just that, and then carried on. I’m glad we did. It was the first time in months that I was able to get into the groove of just showing my artwork to others, talking about a subject I know a lot about (me!). Thank you Wendy Given and the social media team at PDX. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1629038183522-1A1IMIZT8FJK9019UT5U/Playa+High+Desert+Museum+.jpg What is going on!! - High Desert Museum At the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon, through September 12, 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1559665920995-SH9FWT80USTG66ENIQ8I/lotus005_web.jpg What is going on!! - Lan Su Chinese Gardens Through end of July, 2019, I’m showing large scale still life photographs in a solo exhibit in the Scholar’s Study at the Lan Su Chinese Gardens in Portland, Oregon. This print, at 30”x40”, depicts a lotus blossom, a bud, and several spent pods from the Garden itself. With help from one of the gardeners, Mandi Lynn Atkinson, I was able to visit the garden’s offsite greenhouse and and gather some art making beauties. The Gardens are open to the public every day, and yes there is an admission fee, but it supports one of Portland’s most beautiful cultural institutions. On Friday, July 12, 2019, at 2-4pm, I’ll be giving a demo and artist’s talk about my work at the Garden. I’d love to see you there! It’s a casual drop-by event, with lots of repetition, so you surely don’t need to be there the whole 2 hours! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1527826419516-T4YRZ5EO8BBPPAYXYLWB/4_DS_PricklyColumbine.jpg What is going on!! - All Around Oregon An annual roundup via a juried call for entries in all manner of media, from artists throughout the state of Oregon. Juried by Andries Fourie, curator of the High Desert Museum in Bend. My work is an archival pigment print called Prickly Columbine, dark and murky, from an bug's eyeview. The show opens at the Art Center in Corvallis, June 1- July 13, 2018, with an artist reception on June 7. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1465579235000-RPESBW9N5UM2UQLF1PS3/original014BLUEworkingCROP8x12BAY.jpg What is going on!! Here's a detail of "Blue". Always tough to tell how detailed these works are unless you're looking close... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/0b407822-0375-4c01-979a-23732ceb5463/996173795027126853+%281%29.jpg What is going on!! - My new studio About 27 years ago, I had a third floor studio in the Carton Service Building in NW Portland. Since then, I’ve always had the great pleasure of having a home studio. But when my work got bigger, I found that I’ve grown out of spaces at home, and as luck would have it, one of my dear friends was moving into her new studio, leaving a vacancy on the second floor in the old studio building. I’m now able to unroll large prints I made years ago, but stored rolled up and unable to see. Opening them has been like seeing old friends after years of a pandemic. Let me know if you’d like to visit! You can send me a note here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1515692729860-C2EFHT69UICXXZHUWQIH/kiwi-zoom-9.jpg What is going on!! - Yuma Symposium February 22-24, 2018, I spoke at the Yuma Symposium. 25 years after my first speaking gig there, great to revisit all that has happened since... And if you're anywhere near the Yuma Art Center, I'm showing some beautiful 16"x22" floral pieces in custom frames, as well as three 30"x40" and larger dye sublimation on aluminum prints from January 22 through March 10, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1434561439208-8V5U74EWM9PQXE6AGM4A/hoffman+diptych What is going on!! - Hoffman Gallery This large diptypch is framed in two ornate hand painted frames. Hung in a corner of the Hoffman Gallery, they draw you in--each piece is 30"x40", meaning that together, they are bigger than me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1515692542189-KZ9JOZW2LZ0QLRM5GUO0/SPE-POSTER.jpg What is going on!! - Presenter for the SPE Conference Presented my work in a lecture/demo at the symposium. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1530636877155-W89QENMVC99RZ2FQJD0R/OSU+pears+web.jpg What is going on!! - Cascadia Cascadia is a statewide-wide touring fine art photography exhibition of juried work by Oregon photographers. With thanks to the Ford Family Foundation for sponsoring this traveling show, as well as creating a book of the work of the 48 photographers. Also thanks to the jurors for choosing my piece, "OSU Pears" for an Honorable Mention, and a cash prize. Really so happy to be involved with this innovative approach to showing photography throughout the state of Oregon! Now this piece is on view in a beautiful handmade frame at Framing Resource in Portland. Owner Todd Puttman has been a fantastic supporter of my work over the years, and it’s always my pleasure to refer clients to the shop when they’re seeking options for framing my work. Everyone at the shop is super knowledgeable, friendly, and they’ll work within whatever parameters you have in mind. Love this place!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1605672871800-LGL3QQX9UEC4F31M3VCS/may+016.jpg What is going on!! - Art About Agriculture 2020 Art About Agriculture Competition and Exhibition: Tension/Harmony 37th Annual Art About Agriculture Competition and Exhibition at OSU Corvallis Oregon, Giustina Gallery/ The LaSells Stewart Center September 3 – October 30, 2020 Reception: October 1, 2020, 4pm – 7pm. Deb Stoner | Haskap Berries from Shinji's Farm | Photography: dye sublimation on aluminum My two entries both came from this experience: A few years back, I received an email from Dr. Jim Myers asking about a certain variety of tomato depicted in one of my photographs shown at Portland International Airport. I replied that I thought it was the Indigo Rose, to which he replied, “Yes, it is!” and so revealed his involvement in developing that particular variety at the Vegetable Breeding Program at OSU. He invited me to visit the farm to see if there was anything that might be of interest to me to photograph. So started a remarkably interesting series of images that I made from the extraordinary fruits, vegetables and flowers at the farm. Dr. Myers also introduced me to Shinji Kawai, a faculty research assistant at OSU, whose farm in Brownsville is home to a half acre of haskap berries that are part of a project started by Prof. Emeritus Maxine Thompson with plants brought from Siberia and Japan. An invitation to visit Shinji’s farm was a delight in exploring the fruit’s unusual shapes, color, and, of course, taste! I’ve learned that my work relies on the kindness and curiosity of interested people, and am so grateful for these wonderful connections that makes my own work grow and evolve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1451859746112-KV102NXN41MWIUJTFB9F/Sotheby1500web.jpg What is going on!! - At Cascade Sotheby's in Portland's Pearl District, October and November, 2015 During this exhibition of 10 large scale color works, the Society of Photographic Educators was in town for the NW Regional Conference, where I was a presenter. At the conference, I showed my working process in an artist's demo, along with a presentation that detailed my long history with analog photography that led up to these current works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1569951366608-7XBMQA0LFYSSIB32EAFO/08_Caterpillars.jpg What is going on!! - Focus Gallery at Penland School of Craft “Like Hummingbirds to Nectar” is a two person show at the Focus Gallery at the Penland School of Craft.

I’ve read it each day for years now, and published March 28, 2020, here is my coveted five minutes of fame… http://lenscratch.com/2020/03/deb-stoner-more-pictures-about-flowers-and-bugs/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/c56fecc5-f6eb-42e8-965d-02ab459d7fda/deb+at+ostrbuilding.jpg What is going on!! - Fender’s Blue Butterfly: Oregon’s Endangered Treasure In 2020, I entered a call for public art for the new Oregon State Treasury Resiliency Building, made it through the finals, and although the project went to another, I was offered a commision from the committee. I worked with the theme of the endangered Fender’s Blue Butterfly, endemic to the Willamette Valley, and dependent on food and nectar sources that themselves were endangered. Researching the beautiful creature’s habitat brought me introductions to wonderful people, including Carolyn Menke at the Institute of Applied Ecology; Lynda Boyer at Heritage Seedlings; Victor Berthelsdorfer, a landowner who had the Kincaid lupine on his property, and taught me much about photographing tiny fast moving insects. An old friend, Gary Rogowski of the Northwest Woodworking Studio, sourced Oregon white oak, milled it and built an incredible hand carved frame for my still life photograph, that at 48”x 66”, has a powerful presence in its new home. You can read all about the building itself in this fascinating article in the New York Times, “A Super Building for Fragile Times”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1512084462620-L7E5PGDOA6OH7193BZ3W/PDX_Deb_web.jpg What is going on!! - I'm 60 inches tall...

Pandemic blues got me thinking about this small body of work called “Who’s Going to Backup Your Digital Life?”. You’ve got till March, 2022 to make it to Blue Sky to spend some time with all the artists’s work in this excellent exhibition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1452022988587-35PCH11WYW0UY0BIRBMT/Solanum+1023+crop+2000.jpg What is going on!! - Inspired at the Getty A detail of the upper left corner of this piece featuring the Solanum Pyracanthum.

The theme that unifies this ten image edit is "bugs", like in this piece where sometimes, when I'm making an image, I'm not aware of the uninvited guests who ride along on the backs of leaves. And as one year of the Northwest Drawers project at Blue Sky comes down, there's an opportunity for one last viewing, (and the ability to buy artist's works), this year on March 19, 2016. I'll be there showing my work, an edition of color prints at 11"x16" in 18"x24" mats ready to frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1443054950672-5OHD3TVCW37G3PY0M1LC/image-asset.jpeg What is going on!! - Blue Sky Gallery Hungry Bee and Raspberries 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1515306839711-FWP0T1U8M2TM1EM8N489/Stoner_Deb_04.jpg What is going on!! - Medium Festival of Photography I received grant funding from the Regional Arts and Culture Council to participate in the Medium Photography Review and Lecture Series in San Diego, October, 2016. I'll present my work to reviewers, and get to see the work of many others. Excited! A juried show of small works called "Size Matters" opens Oct. 22, at Low Gallery including my piece "Dandelions and Lilacs", an 8"x10" dye sublimation on aluminum print in a frame of teak that Fred and I made. Yee haw, a red dot. About RACC: Over the years, I've received funding for travel to New Zealand to teach (1995), and to attend conferences in San Francisco (2003) and Seattle (2011). Each event was career building, and supportive in the sense that someone out there believed in what I was doing. Portland is truly fortunate to have such an organization to nurture artists at every phase of our careers. Thank you RACC! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1525313534764-ZC7AAU9XWNZ9J9JTGKXI/HelloMate_1500web.jpg What is going on!! - Capturing Place Three large aluminum prints in this group show that is about "the intersection of place and home..."

Once a year, a photographer is chosen to present their work to a million or so visitors who will walk through this space. My work "A Year in the Willamette Valley" shows how the months look, from dark winter through emerging spring, to summer harvest and autumn leaves. Prints are available directly from me in this open edition, in sizes from the original 26"x32", to 16"x20 and 11"x14". The details are so exciting when seen up close and large. I'm so grateful for the support from Port of Portland, from the trust of arts curator Greta Blalock, for the gorgeous framing from Art of Framing, and the ongoing support from curator Wendy Given. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1434562631888-5SESRF5DF6HRM0E742DB/blueskydogwood.jpg What is going on!! - 2015 NW Viewing Drawers Dogwood and Apple Blossoms, 2014. 13"x19", archival pigment print.

They were first generation truck farmers from Germany, in Idaho and South Dakota before landing in Spokane Washington.

I had definitely thought about it, but didn’t make plans, and then a burst appendix sort of changed any plans we might have considered. This late summer garden study took place a few weeks later when I was feeling better. I love the bug’s eye view of what might be happening on any ordinary day near the path of totality. On view at Imogen Gallery continuing through summer 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748559586-B94TB42IOIBM3QG5K0Z4/july4-004_60x70paperImage42x60.jpg Garden Studies - Fourth of July I love this picture. I was working on a project to document a couple in Vancouver's old established garden before some new building projects changed things too much. It was super interesting to go back to the same garden month by month and record the changes in the same plants. I'd been doing that all along actually, with our own garden, and the gardens of neighbors, but not with the rule that if there was going to be a bee in the picture, it had to come from that garden...that sort of thing. It kept me focused in a good way. One day Jane texted that the blueberries were ripe, but when I got there, a few days before the Fourth of July, I was really struck by the shapes of the allium and the clematis. So I went back on the 4th, picked these flowers, ate my fill of berries, and then made this piece. You can see it in person if you find yourself in Astoria, Oregon between April 13 and June 4, at Imogen Gallery. It'll be big: 42"x60". And it will be with my other large scale archival pigment prints in a solo show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748691819-6GFEN2JKS2PDNG8GZXWP/july4-004_60x70print_42x60img_detail.jpg Garden Studies - Fourth of July, detail 42.5”x60” archival pigment print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1556226096663-KSMPTXCSBBMOIH0G7ZLV/Deb_Stoner_1.jpg Garden Studies - Garden Studies Solo exhibition at Imogen Gallery in Astoria, Oregon, through June 4, 2019.

One day, while caterpillar wrangling, I took a walk toward the library, and was surprised to see these apples already in such full form. Not ripe yet, but so beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748804956-C1JIDOPSJZO16BHESC8V/caterpillars235_Print-36x52_detail.jpg Garden Studies - detail of Library Apples with Chard and Caterpillars detail of archival pigment print, 35”x48”, Edition 1/4 on view at Imogen Gallery in Astoria, Oregon, till June 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1556225978059-LDCDWXN3RCVQON2TCN18/Deb_Stoner_2.jpg Garden Studies With our friend Peter, looking for bugs… At Imogen Gallery, Astoria, Oregon, through June 4, 2019. photo courtesy Evan Schneider, copyright 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748568580-LQZ7UDYY489UUVKD5V9L/osu012_Print.jpg Garden Studies - Blueberries, Blackberries, and Indigo Pear Drops A few years ago, I received an email asking if I knew the variety of tomato that I had used in making a photograph that was on display at PDX. I did, because Fred and I had grown it in our garden, and I enjoyed watching it change as it ripened. It was an Indigo Rose, and it started out a dark indigo color, turning more red as it ripened, but where the stem was attached, the shady bits always stayed dark blue. I emailed the gent back, and immediately got the response that of course it was, and that he was the scientist who bred that variety! He was Dr Jim Myers at OSU Vegetable Breeding Program, and invited me to come see what else they were up to. One day, late in their harvest, I arrived for a tour with my guide, Shinji Kawaii, whose specialty of Haskap berries is whole other story. Shinji brought me to an offsite farm where grapes, berries, apples and yes, Indigo Rose tomato varieties were growing, along with acres of other wonderful stuff. I worked in a small little office where decades of seeds were stored, and made this image. Not only was it an incredible day, but I do have to say, I really love this image. Imagine this at 40" x 55" on a cotton rag paper...or just come to Imogen Gallery in Astoria, April 13-June 4, and you can actually see it like that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748824622-DUQ3PWJZPP0DYHCNKBJ3/osu012_Print_18x24_detail.jpg Garden Studies - Detail of Blueberries, Blackberries, and Indigo Pear Drops A cucumber beetle has lunch. 40”x55” archival pigment print.

I had put note on the community board asking for friends to collect dead insects that they had found along the way, so it was an opportunity to connect more bugs and winged insects in my work. I really loved the slow making approach to this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748886219-EDD88LBD0FH3V5OLEW8X/playa036_Print_52x72_detail.jpg Garden Studies - Detail from Playa detail from large scale archival pigment print, now on view at Imogen Gallery, through June 4, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1516762373348-4DBOA9CLOPDRN8IML7RJ/OSU+pears+web.jpg Garden Studies - OSU Pears https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1561224411656-DVQLBUZVSYNBMMWGFHEK/mums-006_web.jpg Garden Studies - Lan Su Mums In November, the Lan Su Gardens brings out their collection of old growth chrysanthemums.

They tamp down the vinyl at several spots at top and left, and then as it lines up, they use a vinyl squeegee to make sure every inch is adhered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574035255202-6JPVCXFNENWOHSM1EC49/_DSC0225.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - Trimming the edges https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574035440175-NJ8HFNPIMQFJPJHRTXAJ/install_DSC0307.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - Pillars = difficult The pillars were covered with concrete that is different to stick to than the metal panels on the rest of the building, leading them to use a thinner, more flexible vinyl. With wind, tight corners to get behind, and heat, the 4 pillars took the most time of anything to install. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574205033729-JKR7JZGQU1P7VGZWS7UW/_DSC0462.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - Southwest wall This is the wall where I learned you can put a door right in a big print, and the door becomes tiny, insignificant, and really hardly even shows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574205085189-UE1LYWSAK999OLFWXYJ9/installIMG_20190828_123736.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - Light fixtures and fire alarms Again, they’re hardly noticeable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574035609280-D6IIJO8OBQL2XWWFQ8TI/install_DSC0319.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - Up and down, inches at a time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574035637106-UR95WY2AZ3VL9IEDO8DX/install_MG_20190830_093020.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - Wrapped pillars Each time a pillar would be completed, it was time for a bit of celebration.

If things were sticky, they used a squirt bottle to spray water over the metal building, and the squeegee would then glide. The metal substrate was ideal to wrap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574201338271-L1L26334QHR7ANL8YR7G/install_IMG_20190829_123117.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - East wall almost done The east wall almost wrapped, sad to see Marilyn covered.

I didn’t really understand the whole pillar/entry way situation, and how the parts of the building projected, so this seemed like a crazy sort of beautiful beginning. What seemed crucial to me was this transplanting of Oregon flowers into the arid Los Angeles landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574024583934-CPO85JHNNCP5V5TKNE0M/PVAC-BuildingSpecs-2_Desert_web_alt.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap Because I’m a fanatic for being thorough, I made another version to submit based on that thought that the LA landscape might accompany these less colorful photographs, made from the high desert of eastern Oregon when I was on a residency at PLAYA in 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574029049042-2X2AR3EZKCCF1L8014F3/_DSC9996.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - John Lennon and the Rat Pack Images by Douglas Kirkland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574029053863-39Q0IQ61XJHDW21L0XPG/_DSC9876.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - Elle Fanning and Audrey Hepburn Images by Douglas Kirkland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574030586089-ELROCMKM1IF0OWCHT6SK/_DSC0001.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap - The portico, with columns This part, so confusing to me in the initial drawings and photos, became more clear as we spent time with it.

The state of Oregon has a fantastic support system for the arts, and as a self-employed artist for over thirty years, I can tell you that it helps. Even when I apply and don’t get the grant, I never know who on the committee might be introduced to my work for the first time, or reminded of it for the second time, or consider it for another project a third time… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1574096574782-RCURLKS0F1XNWGKWAKKG/20151003_orig-composit.jpg Palos Verdes Art Center Building Wrap This would be over a foot tall on the wall.

I had definitely thought about it, but didn’t make plans, and then a burst appendix sort of changed any plans we might have considered. This late summer garden study took place a few weeks later when I was feeling better. I love the bug’s eye view of what might be happening on any ordinary day near the path of totality. On view at Imogen Gallery continuing through summer 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748559586-B94TB42IOIBM3QG5K0Z4/july4-004_60x70paperImage42x60.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - Fourth of July I love this picture. I was working on a project to document a couple in Vancouver's old established garden before some new building projects changed things too much. It was super interesting to go back to the same garden month by month and record the changes in the same plants. I'd been doing that all along actually, with our own garden, and the gardens of neighbors, but not with the rule that if there was going to be a bee in the picture, it had to come from that garden...that sort of thing. It kept me focused in a good way. One day Jane texted that the blueberries were ripe, but when I got there, a few days before the Fourth of July, I was really struck by the shapes of the allium and the clematis. So I went back on the 4th, picked these flowers, ate my fill of berries, and then made this piece. You can see it in person if you find yourself in Astoria, Oregon between April 13 and June 4, at Imogen Gallery. It'll be big: 42"x60". And it will be with my other large scale archival pigment prints in a solo show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748691819-6GFEN2JKS2PDNG8GZXWP/july4-004_60x70print_42x60img_detail.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - Fourth of July, detail 42.5”x60” archival pigment print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1556226096663-KSMPTXCSBBMOIH0G7ZLV/Deb_Stoner_1.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - Garden Studies Solo exhibition at Imogen Gallery in Astoria, Oregon, through June 4, 2019.

One day, while caterpillar wrangling, I took a walk toward the library, and was surprised to see these apples already in such full form. Not ripe yet, but so beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748804956-C1JIDOPSJZO16BHESC8V/caterpillars235_Print-36x52_detail.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - detail of Library Apples with Chard and Caterpillars detail of archival pigment print, 35”x48”, Edition 1/4 on view at Imogen Gallery in Astoria, Oregon, till June 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1556225978059-LDCDWXN3RCVQON2TCN18/Deb_Stoner_2.jpg To Add to New Site Shop With our friend Peter, looking for bugs… At Imogen Gallery, Astoria, Oregon, through June 4, 2019. photo courtesy Evan Schneider, copyright 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748568580-LQZ7UDYY489UUVKD5V9L/osu012_Print.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - Blueberries, Blackberries, and Indigo Pear Drops A few years ago, I received an email asking if I knew the variety of tomato that I had used in making a photograph that was on display at PDX. I did, because Fred and I had grown it in our garden, and I enjoyed watching it change as it ripened. It was an Indigo Rose, and it started out a dark indigo color, turning more red as it ripened, but where the stem was attached, the shady bits always stayed dark blue. I emailed the gent back, and immediately got the response that of course it was, and that he was the scientist who bred that variety! He was Dr Jim Myers at OSU Vegetable Breeding Program, and invited me to come see what else they were up to. One day, late in their harvest, I arrived for a tour with my guide, Shinji Kawaii, whose specialty of Haskap berries is whole other story. Shinji brought me to an offsite farm where grapes, berries, apples and yes, Indigo Rose tomato varieties were growing, along with acres of other wonderful stuff. I worked in a small little office where decades of seeds were stored, and made this image. Not only was it an incredible day, but I do have to say, I really love this image. Imagine this at 40" x 55" on a cotton rag paper...or just come to Imogen Gallery in Astoria, April 13-June 4, and you can actually see it like that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748824622-DUQ3PWJZPP0DYHCNKBJ3/osu012_Print_18x24_detail.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - Detail of Blueberries, Blackberries, and Indigo Pear Drops A cucumber beetle has lunch. 40”x55” archival pigment print.

I had put note on the community board asking for friends to collect dead insects that they had found along the way, so it was an opportunity to connect more bugs and winged insects in my work. I really loved the slow making approach to this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1554748886219-EDD88LBD0FH3V5OLEW8X/playa036_Print_52x72_detail.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - Detail from Playa detail from large scale archival pigment print, now on view at Imogen Gallery, through June 4, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1516762373348-4DBOA9CLOPDRN8IML7RJ/OSU+pears+web.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - OSU Pears https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/557b469fe4b013c140a30201/1561224411656-DVQLBUZVSYNBMMWGFHEK/mums-006_web.jpg To Add to New Site Shop - Lan Su Mums In November, the Lan Su Gardens brings out their collection of old growth chrysanthemums.
