Artist Ali Pope explores memories in her show “Ali Pope: A Fluid
Mind” that is on display now at Pendleton Center for the Arts.
ENDLETON — What does it
mean to remember? How much
can we trust our memory? Is every
encounter new or can something
we forgot fi nd us again?
Walla Walla artist Ali Pope con-
templates these questions in her
new exhibit in the Lorenzen Gallery
at Pendleton Center for the Arts,
214 N. Main St.
“Ali Pope: A Fluid Mind” will be
on display through March 31, and
admission is free, thanks to sup-
port from Coldwell Banker Farley
Company.
“Memories are fl uid; they fl ow
in and out of our minds like vapor
slipping between the cracks of our
subconscious. They reach out to
connect us with our past like shad-
owy fi ngers extending into space,”
Pope writes in her artist’s state-
ment. “Memories shine a light from
the past as we remember smells,
warmth and voices. Our memories
may also startle us out of our pres-
ent, pulling us through time and
into darkness we thought we’d left
behind. These forms embody the
challenge of fi nding what has been
lost to the recesses of our minds —
or the struggle to forget.”
Pope uses painting, printmaking
and sculpture to examine memory
and question the reliability of hu-
man consciousness. Her most
recent work, “Edge of Memory,”
represents what is found and lost in
the gaps of our recollection.
Pope was born in Portland,
Maine, and moved to Walla Walla
to complete her undergraduate
degree in biology at Whitman Col-
lege. She currently works in the
wine industry and continues to
explore nature, beauty and human-
ity through her artwork.
