Wednesday, November 2, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y Three printmakers show work at Sisters Library By Helen Schmidling Correspondent This month, prints made by three artists, each using different processes, are hang- ing in the Sisters Library. Katie Newton’s “Lumen Landscapes” depict micro- cosms within the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty. Lumen printing relies on three things: physical objects, pho- tographic paper, and the sun. The prints capture the after- image of organic materials — pinecones, pine needles, Sitka spruce bark, ferns, branches, or blossoms — as they fall onto the photographic paper, on the ground. These objects leave a photographic trace that Newton develops and fixes in the darkroom, toning with selenium to bring out golden warmth. This particular collection was made near Pistol River on the Southern Oregon coast. A single black-and-white photo- graph created as a silver gela- tin print, called “Forest Dinner Party,” shows the area of the forest where Newton laid See PRINTMAKERS on page 30 Land trust recognizes outstanding volunteers The Deschutes Land Trust presented three Central Oregonians with volunteer awards at its annual open house on October 25. Jay Mather, Steve Ponder, and Jan Rising were honored as Volunteers of the Year. This award is given annu- ally to Land Trust volunteers who have provided outstand- ing service in the last year. Mather has been a Land Trust volunteer since 2007. A retired professional photog- rapher, Jay donates his time taking stunning photos that help tell the story of the Land Trust’s work. For more than 10 years, Mather has been out rain, shine, or snow to capture the events that mark the day or the decade. From massive stream restoration projects to delicate releases of monarch butterflies, the Land Trust is grateful that he has been there, camera in hand, so the organization can share its work with others. Steve Ponder has been a Land Trust volunteer since 2016.

Mural helps students grow as artists By Jodi Schneider Correspondent From cave paintings in southern France to the street art murals of today, artists have been leaving signs of their own existence in many places around the world. When Three Creeks Brewing Co. contacted Bethany Gunnarson, art teacher for Sisters High School, about designing a mural on the side of their 52-foot storage container, Gunnarson thought it would be an exceptional opportunity for her advanced art students to learn how to create art on a large scale. “The students are now learning how to design for a client with what they want included, proposing designs and having them selected,” Gunnarson said. “This project will teach them life skills.” Victoria Graves, manag- ing partner for the brewery, thought the huge tractor trailer containers used for additional storage at their production facility on Barclay Drive looked like blank canvases. “They just looked like two billboards that needed something. We were going to talk with our sign maker who painted our logo on the silo outside out facility, but instead we thought why not do something that encom- passes art and Central Oregon and involves art students to create something out of the ordinary,” she said. After discussing the art project with the manag- ing team for Three Creeks Brewing, Graves con- tacted Gunnarson and the art students with what they would like included in the design for the mural. “We wanted to mix the Central Oregon lifestyle in with the natural world we live in,” Graves said. “The stu- dents came up with a couple of design sketches and our management team voted on them and finalized it.” Each of the 10 art students drew up a design and pre- sented it to Gunnarson, who had them all vote on which one would work the best for the mural. Gunnarson noted, “All students were tasked with designing for this mural, so everyone got a chance to have their design chosen. This composition was the favor- ite of the class and of Three See MURAL on page 22 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Al-Anon Mon., noon, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church / Wed., 6 p.m., Episcopal Church of the Transfi guration. 541-549-8737 or 541-549-1527.
