ENTERTAINMENT Saturday, September 22, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3C PENDLETON Beauty in the details Betty Feves gallery opens for season By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian Intricately detailed wood sculptures inspired by the anatomy of plants, animals, insects and humans are featured in the opening exhibition of the 2018-19 season at the Betty Feves Memorial Gallery. The display is the work of Laura Buchan, an artist based in Stevenson, Wash- ington. She creates amal- gams, combining parts from different objects to make unique sculptural pieces that cause viewers to question what they are seeing, and whether or not it might be real. “My work explores what can come of uniting vari- ous anatomical structures from different sources to create unique, new pieces,” Buchan explained. The public is invited to the opening reception for “Votive” Thursday, Sept. 27 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the gallery in Blue Moun- tain Community Col- lege’s Pioneer Hall, 2411 N.W. Carden Ave., Pend- leton. Light refreshments will be served during the free, family-friendly event. Buchan will give an art- Contributed photo Laura Burchan of Stevenson, Washington, creates sculptures with wood. “Votive,” an exhibit featuring her work, opens Sept. 27 at the Betty Feves Memorial Gallery at BMCC in Pendleton. ist talk at approximately 5 p.m. The sculptures, Buchan said, are not meant to emu- late one specific thing, but are often amalgams that can be interpreted multiple ways. “The pieces evoke many different feelings. Some are serene, some play- ful, and others ominous, depending on how the individual forms interact to create a whole being,” she said. In addition, Buchan is interested in both preser- vation and the process of decay — thus fascinated with taxidermy, biological specimens, skeletal forms and seed pods, as well as withered plant life. “I use a careful combi- nation of these to inform my work,” she said. The show runs through Thursday, Oct. 25. The gallery is open Monday through Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. or Tickets on sale for Oregon Music Hall of Fame event PORTLAND — A con- cert with performances by The Kingsmen, Monti Amundson Trio and Ural Thomas and the Pain is featured during the Ore- gon Music Hall of Fame Induction.

A nonprofit exhibit space, the Betty Feves Memorial Gallery seeks to connect emerging and established artists with stu- dents, staff and the general public. The 2018-19 season features an additional five gallery shows, including the annual BMCC Student Art Show in May 2019. The gallery is named in memory of Feves, who moved to Pendleton in 1945. Creating her own style, Feves began exhib- iting her work in 1952 and became an internationally known ceramic artist. She encouraged and helped in molding the work of many artists. The Arts Council of Pendleton raised money for a commissioned piece by Feves for the Vert Audi- torium. However, she died before it was complete, and the funds were then used to create the gallery in her memory. For more information, visit www.bluecc.edu/ community/feves-art-gal- lery.
