Wild Peninsula: Color and Sound in North Portland is a collaboration between Carolyn Hazel Drake - fiber works, Michael Brooks - photography, Michael Gerston - event hosting at Speck’s Records and Tapes, Adrienne Basey - native plant restoration specialist consultant, and Eric Jordan - sound and music. This work is born out of life in North Portland, representing these neighborhoods as they currently are. Other than what interviewees may recount with historical information or recollection of past events, this will be a contemporary survey of the peninsula. There will be more episodes along the way to this piece’s exhibit and performance in October, 2023. Infinite thanks to the Regional Arts and Culture Council for their grant funding of this project!
