Artist Talk: Julie Rall
About this Event
Join us at the Imperfecta Gallery for a free artist talk by Portland-based artist Julie Rall. Julie will share insights about her process and take us through the vision behind her site-responsive installation Always Coming Home.
Always Coming Home is a celebration of Portland's local places. Using materials such as salt, fabric, retired globes, paper, sticks, and found objects, Rall constructed an immersive environment that reflects the quiet significance of the everyday, leveraging a unique aesthetic that illustrates the layered histories that circulate through human hands and habitats.
The title of the installation references Ursula K. Le Guin's Always Coming Home, a text that informed the installation's inquiries into place, belonging, and cyclical return. Rather than illustrating Le Guin's narrative, Rall engages its philosophical undercurrents, inviting viewers to consider what it means to inhabit the Earth with attentiveness and reciprocity.
Always Coming Home offers a sense of place and a celebration of home.
The gallery is located at 809 NW Flanders st, Portland OR.
About the artist
Julie Rall works with the alchemy of materials to create poetic places. She is concerned with how fluid paint pours, pulls, clumps, and settles across acrylic panels and paper, how materials fold, layer, and spread out over each other and how materials respond to gravity, surface, and time. Julie has been practicing her art in Portland, Oregon since 1985.
