Critic’s Picks: Portland
by Richard Speer
Artist Rebecca Ripple, who earned her MFA in sculpture at Yale University, creates challenging, sinuous works from unconventional materials, while artist and educator Tim Flowers is known for enigmatic paintings and drawings that finesse distinctions between abstraction and representation.
