Art Installation at the Artists Repertory Theatre |
01/25/12 |
The Artists Repertory Theatre in downtown Portland is hosting an Artist Reception for my new Numberism installation on Saturday, February 4th preceding a performance of “(I Am Still) The Duchess of Malfi”. For this occasion, I specially created 5 limited edition giclee canvas prints larger than I have ever dared print them before. They are each #1 of 4, first run. The center piece is the really special installation. I hand painted it with uv reactive paint (in numbers) which will be activated during the reception. I have also included a collection of unlimited framed giclees.
I highly recommend staying for the performance from this talented group which I am excited to install artwork for.

A little about “(I Am Still) The Duchess of Malfi”
Is the desire of love or power the most alluring? Edgy and visceral, this contemporary adaptation of Webster’s classic Jacobean revenge tragedy is a world-premiere production. In this re-imagined classic, the Duchess of Malfi defies her brother’s chess game of power, manipulation and morality. Laced with violence and shocking wit, this macabre, plot-twisting, back-stabbing saga of murder, sex and betrayal doesn’t come to a pretty end. Written by former Portland playwright, Joseph Fisher, whose Artists Rep credits include adaptations of Chekhov’s The Seagull (2006) and Carlo Goldoni’s The New House (2003).
Sienna and Numberism in The Oregonian! |

Portland artist’s ‘numberism’ technique is part art, part math |
Although Sienna Morris is an artist by trade, one gets the impression that a mathematician or scientist lives in her living room, where bookshelves are stacked high with thick hardcover thermodynamics and astrophysics titles.
Once you see Morris’ artwork, the discrepancy makes sense.
The Portland woman, 28, uses the term “numberism” to describe her technique of using numbers and mathematical equations to form images normally created with paintbrush strokes and drawn lines.
From a few feet back, the intricately detailed “A Cello,” which depicts ethereal hands plucking a cello’s strings, appears to be sketched with the lightest touch. Closer inspection reveals the image isn’t sketched at all; it emerges from thousands of strategically clustered numbers and symbols in a numerical take on pointillism.
“I’m trying to show that math doesn’t live and die in the textbook,” Morris says.
