What: “Field Burns,” an exhibit by Patrick Collier
Artist Patrick Collier has taken an interesting route
to get to where he is today.
He received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy,
which lead to a master’s degrees in English literature,
through which he discovered performance art and fine
arts. With a Masters of Fine Arts as part of his palette,
he went on to run an art gallery in Chicago with his
wife, Jo Hearst, before moving to Oregon.
“We were looking for a rather significant change
and Chicago was more than happy to let us go,” Collier
said. “I grew up in the country so we started looking
around and discovered Stayton.”
In 2003, Collier started an organic farm in an area he
describes as “not quite Waldo Hills” and it was there
that his latest project began.
“One day I was out working in the garden and no-
ticed this huge plume of multicolored smoke,” he ex-
plained. “I thought Mt. Hood had exploded. I started
seeing more and more of them and then I realized that
this was something that was planned. In the Midwest,
we didn’t have field burning … When I finally had the
chance to see one of these fires up close, I knew I had to
photograph this farming practice.”
Collier explained that he searched for controlled
burns everywhere from north of Silverton to south of
Route 226, which runs between Mehama and Albany.
The result is a photographic collection called “Field
Burns,” which will be on exhibit at Portland State Uni-
versity’s Broadway Gallery from January 24 to May
15.
Collier said that while the collection was taking
shape, “I was just awestruck by the grass field burning
and the images that resulted, in many instances, I was
reminded of past movements like neo-geo and artists
such as Anselm Kiefer and Cy Twombly.”

In the exhibition brochure, Leroy E. Bynum, Jr.,
Dean of the College of the Arts, notes how "Field
Burns" invites viewers to consider a range of issues,
"from agricultural practices ... to the nature of artistic
regionalism and the relationship of landscape photog-
raphy to conventions of modernist painting."
“Field Burns” is not one of the more experimental,
mixed-media installations that Collier usually creates,
but he says that it is a reflection of his personal and
artistic relationships to nature.
Portland State Professor of Art History and Asso-
ciate Dean Sue Taylor had some very specific reasons
why the College of the Arts was “really excited” about
Collier’s work.
“The twenty images we've selected from the "Field
Burns" series are brilliant examples of Collier's unique
regionalist vision,” she said.
“As a farmer, of course, Collier has an intimate
knowledge of the terrain, but he also sees the land-
scape of agricultural toil aesthetically, which makes
this body of work so fascinating.”

Mt. Angel Heritage Trail
markers coming this summer
CHRISTENA BROOKS
SPECIAL TO SALEM STATESMAN JOURNAL
USA TODAY NETWORK
MT. ANGEL – In a town where Catholic roots run
deep, the term “contemplation” has special meaning.
It’s defined in the dictionary as “looking thoughtful-
ly at something for a long time,” or “deep reflection.”
Soon Mt. Angel residents and visitors will have a new
way to contemplate their surroundings, from the city’s
downtown core to the Benedictine abbey perched on
the hill above it.
Grants, totaling $25,000, are funding the creation of
10 historic markers, to be installed along a 3.5-mile
walking route no later than summertime. After years of
committee work, the Mt. Angel Heritage Trail is going
to be more than a map – it’s going to be a physical reality.
“I’m really pleased because it grew from a concept
at a chamber board meeting to become much bigger,
and it involved many more people,” said Pete Wall,
president of the chamber of commerce.
Like its neighbor, Silverton, Mt. Angel will use metal
podiums – topped with laser-etched photographs and
text – to tell the story of 10 historic locations to anyone
willing to stop and look. The committee’s intention is to
add many more sites in the future, said Mr. Angel City
Manager Amber Mathiesen.
Silverton High School students in instructor Scott
Towery’s industrial arts classes constructed Silverton’s
podiums and will now also build Mt. Angel’s.
“All the tops have been cut and laser-etched, all ma-
terials have been ordered, and everything’s sitting at
the high school, just waiting to become a student pro-
ject,” Mathiesen said.
She said everyone involved would’ve liked Mt. Angel
students at Kennedy High School to build the podiums,
but they don’t have shop equipment necessary to do it.
The 10 sites featured first on the Mt. Angel Heritage
Trail are Mount Angel Abbey, Bank of Mt. Angel, Wei-
seenfels Blacksmith Shop, Mt. Angel Creamery and Ice
Co., Glockenspiel, Queen of Angels Monastery, Saalfeld
House, St Mary Catholic Church, Southern Pacific Rail-
road Depot, and Schmalz and Sons Warehouse.
Each podium includes at least one historic photo-
graph, a featured building’s age, a paragraph on its his-
tory, and the Mt. Angel Heritage Trail logo. A walking
tour connecting them all in a 3.5-mile loop is available
on Facebook on the Mt. Angel Heritage Trail page.
Part of the project’s funding – $5,000 – is a grant from
the Oregon Public Health Institute’s “Health Eating Ac-
tive Living,” or HEAL, Cities initiative. The Oregon
Community Foundation and Marion County awarded
remaining $20,000.
Nuns at the Queen of Angels Monastery, on the
southwest tip of the Heritage Trail, are delighted that a
historic marker will soon be installed on the sidewalk
next to the sign at their driveway entrance, said Sister
Dorothy Jean Beyer, who’s lived at the monastery since
she was 18.
“We are very happy this has happened,” Beyer said.
“This is a great thing for our community to learn more
about its history.”
