Incompletely features the work of six Portland, OR artists exploring themes of incompleteness and insufficiency through formal, conceptual and emotional means. In order to imply incompleteness, each artist employs the use of contradictory elements, such as mass versus void, fulfillment versus emptiness, and current progress versus an assumed point of completion. This use of contradiction captures the transitory state between beginning and end, and alludes to not only the lack of progress, but perhaps the suggestion that a final goal may never be reached.
