Hey Portlanders! Tia Factor’s solo show, In Want of the World, opens at Half/Dozen Gallery (722 E Burnside & SE 8th Ave) this Friday evening from 6-9. From the gallery press release:
Through interviews and translations, Tia Factor has created a series of intimate paintings that singularly capture adventure and memory from a host of different perspectives, both familiar and distant. In Want of the World is a project motivated by a longing for travel and romanticizing of places already visited. Factor explores the common need to transform nuanced and complex places into simplified places of fantasy…
