Cascades // Chris Lael Larson

Open Reception Saturday, September 6, 5-9pm - On view Sept 5- October 12, 2025

This new series merges photography, painting, and assemblage to explore and reimagine the Cascade Head Preserve on the Oregon Coast. The process is both cyclical and immersive, blending time in the field with work in the studio. This recursive process layers perspectives and materials, creating multi-dimensional images that challenge perception—what’s a photo, what’s real, what’s painted? That ambiguity is intentional. Each work builds on and from each other, echoing the rhythms and interconnections of the natural world. At the heart of Cascades is what Larson calls “a deep, sensory engagement with place.” As such, Chris brings the viewer into the experience with an installation-like quality to the display of works that will leave you enchanted.
