I’m so happy to share that my new print series has been included in the @blueskygallerypdx 2026-27 Pacific Northwest Drawers. These photographs show past light installation works of mine, giving temporary pieces a second life. Exploring my practice from this new perspective opens so many new possibilities. If nothing else, a return to 2D work has been really interesting. I love these works and deeply look forward to sharing them with you, and to celebrating the works of all of my fellow PNW Drawers artists.

Massive thanks to @alysonbowen of @borderlinepress for bringing these photos to life through her stunning printing, and for her expertise and patience in working through the proofing process with me.

Opening Reception: April 2nd, 5-8 pm

FINAL WEEKEND - HOLDING ME, HOLDING YOU
Pamela Hadley
Jan. 10 — Feb. 01, 2026 Hours: Sat–Sun, 12–5 PM & by appointment

EXHIBITION STATEMENT
For me, slowness is not just a method; it is a core strategy of my practice—a deliberate act of healing from and resisting a culture that often reduces the value of human life to what one produces, while prioritizing rapid consumption and immediate outcomes. Inherently anti-capitalist, slowness and stillness, facilitated here by perceptual experience, invite reflection and connection and create space to imagine ways in which we will remake our world.

Growing at a remarkably slow pace and acting as essential reservoirs of nutrients, lichens significantly enrich forest ecosystems. A significant portion of lichen species, especially those dependent on older trees, is linked to ecological continuity, which is lost when forests burn too intensely or are logged without proper restoration, affecting continental and global ecosystems that these ancient woods sustain.

Robin Wall Kimmerer tells us that lichens, “blur the definition of what it means to be an individual, as a lichen is not one being, but two: a fungus and an alga… Some pairs are so specialized that they cannot live apart from one another… In a world of scarcity, interconnection and mutual aid become critical for survival. So say the lichens.”

Such joining of two organisms may seem far-fetched, but it could not be closer to home. Recent biological research has revived a 1967 theory long overlooked: that multicellular life began not with a single-celled organism dividing, but with the union of two. In 2012, a team of biologists further developed this perspective in their essay, “A Symbiotic View of Life: We Have Never Been Individuals.” Their conclusion is striking—“We are all lichens.” by @nosleeptillinstall

It’s that time! If you haven’t been to Holding Me, Holding You yet, this Sat & Sun 12-5 p are your last chance. I’ll be in the gallery on Sunday 02/01 and will give a short talk about the show at 4:00 p.

I know it might seem like art is a frivolous thing to care about right now, and each of us has to navigate questions like that for ourselves, but this show is about this moment. It’s about remembering our individual and collective powers, about reckoning with it all, and doing it together. If you feel isolated and alone and unsure of how to move forward, this show is for you. If you’ve been IN it and you’re shaken and your nerves are shot, it’s for you, too.

Hope to see you this weekend. 💕
