T. Rex of the Seas !
The Oregon Museum of Science
and Industry invites visitors to take
an incredible voyage, 200 million
years back in time, for a face-to-face
encounter with the "T. rex of the
seas" in a new OMNIMAX movie.
Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric
World.
The 3D film sheds light on the
extraordinary prehistoric underwater
world and its larger-than-life crea
tures, who by way of their daunting
size and natural ability for predation,
were ruling the seas 20 million years
before dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Moviegoers will travel across the
Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous
periods to discover a little-known
universe populated by amazing ani
mals: the powerful Liopleurodon,
the long-necked Elasmosaurus, the
"eye-lizard" Ophthalmosaurus, the
ferocious Prognathodon, and the

Each o f artist Hsin-Yi Huang's cocoon-like forms is individually hand thrown, fired twice and then
sand blasted. Her installation at the Portland Building will include a grid composed o f hundreds o f
the exquisitely made objects.
Conformity and Individuality
Collective, a project by Portland
ceramicist Hsin-Yi Huang, was con
ceived as a means to explore how
individuals blend conformity and
individuality to function in an inter
connected and interdependent so
ciety.
The artist poetically illustrates how
we are connected with one another
through a presentation of hundreds
of ceramic sphere forms that fill the
walls of the space in a grid-like pat
tern. Her works are on display at the
Portland Building, 1120 S.W. Fifth
Ave., through Feb. 11.
This installation portrays my view
of our society by showing how indi
viduals exist and connect to each
other,” she said. “Each individual is
represented by a sphere form. The
hollowness of this form creates a
separation of interior and exterior
spaces, it allows privacy within the
walls of each individual. I consider
this separation of the inside from the
outside to be the very foundation
that establishes one's sense of self.”
Each of H uang’s spheres is
formed by hand using an elaborate
process that involves'multiple fir
ings, flame marking and sand blast
ing. Despite their similarity, no two
pieces are the same. The artist sees
a direct parallel in society— as our
likeness binds us together, it is the
uniqueness of each individual that
gives character to the group.
“The differences contributed by
each individual are as essential as
its similarities. To me, the key to a
symmetrical and stable overall pic
ture is a balance between confor
mity and individuality.”
