Humboldt Light Gathering

In a greenspace at the corner of N Albina Ave and N Sumner St, the Humboldt Light Gathering hosts light displays, performance and light art. Under the large tent, people rendezvous and enjoy the colorful atmosphere. Participants can have dinner, drinks or shop at the surrounding local small business. It’s a neighborhood destination during the Portland Winter Light Festival. Join the festivities in the Humboldt Neighborhood!

Artists:

Lanning Shields
Light Experiment #7
media: Photo transparency paper in lightbox.

Description: Light Experiment #7 was created by the gradual process of exposing photo paper to very dim light over the course of 30 days. The transparency paper was intentionally rolled up and placed in a darkroom where tiny amounts of light slowly penetrated the layers creating streaks of color. The remnant of a time scale vastly slower than our eyes take in the world as a means of celebrating the magic of photography as well as our limited and subjective experience of reality.

About the Artist: Lanning Shields is a photographer from Seattle WA., where he earned a BFA in photography from the University of Washington in 2007. He currently resides in Portland OR where he works in the commercial photo industry.
