20 Wednesday, December 13, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon LIBRARY ART: Variety of media on display in show Continued from page 3 the towns that reside within them.” Newton’s interest in pho- tography began with a high school film class and resulted in her obtaining her Bachelor of Fine Arts in photogra- phy from the University of Oregon in 2014. She has had numerous shows throughout Oregon, as well as in Texas and Finland. In 2015, she was selected to attend the Saari Artist Residency in Mynamaki, Finland, and in 2016 Newton was a resident at the PLAYA artist residency in Summer Lake, Oregon. She does her photography in a range of formats, from the plant- based emulsions of anthro- types to modern digital color photography. More of Newton’s work can be viewed on her web- site, www.ktnewton.com Garzon Vargas’ work focuses on children and fam- ilies around the world. The pieces currently on display in the library are large- and medium-format papercuts, a technique done by cut- ting from one continuous piece of paper where every- thing is connected and later paired with a contrasting underlay. The portraits come from the documentary “Girls Rising,” which features girls overcoming challenges in order to pursue education in various regions of the globe. The large-format pieces were inspired by war photographer Jesus Abad Colorado and his images of families affected by the internal conflict in Columbia. She said she loves chil- dren’s literature, is bilingual, and has written two bilingual children’s books. When she is not working at the library, making art, or reading, Garzon Vargas enjoys climb- ing, mountain biking, and playing with her dog, Luna.

The entryway display cases hold the magical world of Kelley Salber’s imagina- tive miniatures, crafted from old books and boxes. Salber said that her propensity is toward three-dimensional work, so when she was intro- duced to the idea of the book as art, she found it fit her contemplative personality and her hands-on, “let’s build it” approach. In addition to her minia- ture worlds, Salber also cre- ates new blank journals out of old books, crafts her own books, as well as builds with book board and paper. “I favor books as art for their portability and because books tend to lead toward deeper contemplation. People are represented in my work as miniature books because each one of us has a story and we are all a good read!” Salber said. A native of Montana, Salber holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Montana State University and is a self-taught artist, with continuing education through classes and work- shops as well as bookbinding and book building mentoring from Nebraska artist Rachel Fox. “With these miniature bookcases, I combined a love of all things miniature and books. Each has a color theme and a message mar- ried to the humorous. These bookcases draw the observer to search for the message and contemplate it just like searching for titles on a bookshelf,” said Salber. “The bookcases are also available for commission. You pro- vide the idea, a quote, a color scheme and I make your cus- tom bookcase!” In addition to her work with books as a sculptural form, Salber spent most of her life expressing herself through watercolor, collage, and found-object sculpture. Her work can be found at the Hood Avenue Art Gallery. She teaches the art of book- making in Sisters, as well as in Bend where she lives with her husband of over 30 years, Rich. Recipient of the 2017 Theme Award from My Own Two Hands, Salber’s recent exhibits have included the Illahe Gallery in Ashland, the Bend Art Center, The Tiny Art Show at the Tbd Loft in Bend, and the Valley Art Gallery in Forest Grove.
