To Be or Not to Be
Definitely "To Be"
Linda Welch is currently showing a broad range of her work in the gallery this month. Of particular interest is her Shakespeare Series, a collection of 17 artist books created from the plays of William Shakespeare. In true Welch style, each book is visual and very tactile as they offer yet another interpretation of these timeless classics. Each miniature volume is created from an altered book of Shakespeare's plays and is offered individually or in a wall mounted box containing three titles, so you can mix and match your favorites.
Welch creates art using a range of media incorporating bits of text and abstract imagery, collage, paint, wax and even a few found objects. In her show this month you will enjoy artist books, paintings and even sculptures made from cast concrete.
A relative newcomer to Portland, Oregon, Welch hails from Ames, Iowa. She received her B.F.A. in Ceramics from Long Beach State and M.F.A. in Textile Design from UC Davis, both in California. This is her second solo show here at 23 Sandy.
