Almost Spring

We are in our final days of Winter Term here at Portland State. The March weather has been quite bipolar... blooming daffodils and warm wind replaced by black clouds, rain and cold weather, and then back again. It's all quite tolerable though, because this is our last week of class-- dead week isn't really dead week here-- and next week is finals. Which means Spring Break is soon upon us. We plan to go camping on the beach for part of it, because we (like so many Oregonians) think it's great fun to get shivery sandy wet while pretending it is excellent warm spring weather. Very pleasant indeed.

Our second to last project in our color theory class was an assignment based on two opposing words with a composition for each of them. For example, the words could be "alienation" and "community", and the artist would create (via color, mainly), abstract compositions that make these words apparent to the viewer. So here are mine and Jeremy's projects, I'll let you guess the words.

We went snowboarding a couple times in the past week, but didn't take pictures (we got some film footage last Thursday but I haven't downloaded any of it.) I'm hoping to get some spring boarding pics before the season wraps up, though. We've really enjoyed Meadows this winter, and it would be a shame to let the season escape without documenting some of it.
