Inspiration comes from the familiar everyday moments…caught on a whim or through long observation. ”The exhibition is a collection of fused and cameo-engraved glassworks that begin with a photograph, combining an ancient technique with a contemporary medium. “The transformation,” Surgent continues, “of a photograph into a relief engraving on glass makes a passing moment permanent.”

PDX Contemporary Art presents Marie Watt “Marker” - PDX Contemporary Art
Many native tribes marked trails, water sources and other important areas by tying down saplings so that they would grow into permanent markers. I am interested in the physical manifestation and human impulse to makers markers as vehicles for storytelling, wayfinding, memorializing, and location-siting. With this body of work, I am investigating both abstract and figurative representations of marker as directional sign; act of negation; a common signature for an illiterate; symbol for a kiss; a spot on a map. I am compelled by how the senses are engaged in memory—how, for example, the touch of wool or the scent of cedar trigger the embodiment of a story.
