This wall is part of a series of “Portland Walls” in a collaborative project with Office Andorus exhibited in the Portland State faculty show, “Extracurricular PSU”. Using the “wall” as an architectural canvas, the wall should manifest Portland through objects both referential and reflective. Here, the strange, obliquely extruded profiles of historic cast iron street lamps protrude from the wall, dematerialized and scaled. They sit adjacent to a caricatured, plastic, craftsman door, commonly seen in turn of the century Portland bungalows. This wall is a comment on Portland’s relationship with old and new.
