View Point Portland: From Dusk ‘til Dawn
Erica J Mitchell
(American, 1984)
Artist Statement
As a photojournalist, one of my favorite things to do is to document everyday images and happenings here in our home town that are beautiful or meaningful, however often overlooked on our day to day journeys.
This series began simply as my documentation of my move into downtown Portland, but has blossomed into so much more. I hope you find that these images speak loudly of arrival and exploration. They show my transition; beginning in the outskirts of the metro area, then growing increasingly warming and familiar as my adventure draws me into the heart of this incomparable city.
I want each image to evoke inspiration; a particular emotion ensuring that any individual piece has the power to stand on it’s own, but also has it’s place in this storytelling series of prints.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Twice a year in February and August, The Crystal Ballroom will play host to a dynamic fashion show where each designer is encouraged to think outside the box regarding their runway presentation. Fade to Light aims to not just be a fashion show, but to be an experience that leaves the viewer with a solid understanding of each designer and the collections being shown. Fade to Light is also about fostering creative talent in Portland and helping that talent succeed in the working world of the apparel industry. The first Fade to Light occurred in 2012 and was conceived by Elizabeth Mollo, whom heads the show twice a year as the executive producer. Fade to Light routinely showcases the work of both established and emerging designers within the Portland fashion community, including Project Runway winners and alums and graduates from The Art Institute of Portland and Portland Sewing’s Fashion Forward Program.

Yesterday I photographed portfolio pieces for for 5 fashion apparel designers. I had a blast dancing around mannequins and designers while intimately connecting with the apparel. It was great time! More image to come.
