An idea that’s central to Jamie Newton’s creative endeavors comes from Buckminster Fuller, that humans are here as “local-universe-information-gatherers.” To Jamie, there’s no better way to experience that than “through interacting with the elemental,” and he’s been at it throughout his decades-long career. Known for creating ephemeral art and having nature as a collaborator (such as for his rain and snow paintings and wind-driven or bird-powered drawing machines), Jamie brings a body of work that includes fire drawings, paintings, sculptures, found objects, books and editioned prints.
Jamie Newton has shown his art extensively in Oregon, participated in Fluxus exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally, and contributed to and created many publications, sound recordings and theatre designs. We invite you to join us and sample the fruits of Jamie’s information-gathering!
