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-

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

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.
