The Red String Palma Corral In my own process of working on installations, I am always interested in the idea of “meaning”. How do we derive and access meaning? Is meaning inherent in forms or is meaning projected onto forms? I am very conscious that in the interpretation of meaning a deconstruction process may occur in which the work may be investigated into distinct but malleable areas of existence within art and life: the aesthetic, the cultural, the political, and the personal. Much like reading a poem the process of looking and seeking to understand and find meaning in the installation is where the “art” happens. Bio Palma Corral is an installation artist. She has exhibited her work in the USA and Canada. Her exhibitions consist of Digitypes (a mix-media photographic process she invented), conceptual sculptural installations, sound installations and art performances. Her work studies the existential issues of the human experience from ancient times into contemporary life and incorporates ideas and symbolic images from history, psychology, religion, philosophy, mythology, science and art. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at The Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. Currently, she is one of the founders and curators of Place and the Settlement. www.palmacorral.com

Time to Vote: Portland Art Scene 2010 Readers Poll
Here’s to possibilities!
Go to PORT and vote.
We really are very honored to even be considered and really look forward to 2011. (Pretty much our acceptance speech if we get it, minus our beaming smiles, Gary Gabe and Palma’s crazy banter, and going overtime with the music playing because our thank you list was way too long.)
The logo has arrived. Stake a claim, make a claim, take a claim, leave a claim.
