June 8 Hairlines

We are social visual creatures. Hair is a strong factor in appearance. That is why butoh dancers shave it off, to focus attention on the movement of the body, rather than social styling. Kansas artist Molly Murphy, like Portland artist Ashley Sloan, has selected hair as a topic of illustration. She is visiting artist at Albina Press, opening tonight. It is a good subject for drawing too, it's inherently all line! Albina Press openings are always fun and chill. The space was originally an art gallery, and quite excellent, before it was a coffee shop. It has had consistently great curators since. At Albina Press, 4637 N. Albina Ave x Blandena Map 6PM-8 Free
