<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; color: black; font: 14px 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Emily Bates, an oil painter originally from England and now residing in Portland, grew up on an estate in the English countryside. After moving to America in her late teens and obtaining her bachelor's degree in Art and Art History, she began more conscientiously incorporating her interest in the Victorian era and the English flora and fauna into her paintings.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Textural backgrounds and demure subjects are reminiscent of her childhood memories on the estate, when she would wander in the woods, hoping to catch a glimpse of a secretive fox or deer and would take refuge in the stately house, creeping around its many corridors and grand rooms, thinking of the original family that lived there in a time long-passed.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><em>Tim Perry is the founder, lead singer, and song writer for the Portland-based band AgesandAges. Many talented music writers have tried to describe their sound – The Partridge Family, Jack White and Rumors-era Fleetwood Mac have all been mentioned. So basically, you should just go listen for yourself. Several tracks from their album “Alright You Restless” are streaming at </em><a href="http://www.agesandages.com/"><em>http://www.AgesandAges.com</em></a><em>. </em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><em><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AgesandAges will be performing at Works, an Art Happening, on February 24, 2012 at The Old Church in downtown Portland on SW 10th and Clay.</em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Q:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AgesandAges songs feel like an antidote to irony. They’re joyful, sincere, hopeful. In general, what has been the audience response to the “heart-on-sleeve” approach AaA has taken both lyrically and in your performances? Any positive responses that have been especially memorable? </strong></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Once somebody said to me (as though it were fact): "Well, obviously you made a conscious decision at some point to sit down and write some 'feel good' music." It caught me off guard, because it was so far from the truth. Yes, the ultimate message in this music is one of hope and joy, but it originates from what I consider to be a pretty bleak reality (uh oh, here comes a metaphor): The ship is sinking and only a few people seem to notice or care. That's the bad news. But I think that most people just pick up on the good news, which is that there's hope for those of us who do notice and care...and furthermore, it's okay to wear that on our sleeves! I guess this resonates with some people, which is pretty cool. When people sing our songs with us, or clap along at all the right parts...it's the best.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong>Q: The following theme runs through “Alright You Restless” (AYR):<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rules made by authority figures are arbitrary. You should ignore those rules and go your own way if you want to flourish as a person. How does that idea intersect with your experience of life?</strong></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Well, first I'd like to get a little more specific: the message in AYR is not so much to go your way, but to go our way; to come with us. And by "our," I am not referring to the people in this band. I am referring to the people singing these songs; our alter-egos. We are summoning other people to leave the old world behind and join us in our secluded place. Pretty self-righteous actually. But establishing this alter-community provided some voices, through which we could express all of these things bluntly. How does this idea intersect with my life experience? Well, I have noticed that so much of what I do or don't do is based on fear, in one way or another. There's really too much fear to even talk about right here, but the one I refer to most is that fear we have of doing the thing we know we should be doing but aren't. The fear of taking that first step; of making that first move; of taking our apron off, plopping it on the floor, and saying "I can do better than this." We make threats. We imagine these scenarios. But usually, the uncertainty of what lies ahead is enough to scare us into not actually doing it. So these songs address the exact moment when the action is finally taken. The feeling of freedom, relief, weightlessness, and the urge to convert others once you've crossed over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Q: What are the best conditions for you for songwriting? (Where/when/tools/mood/etc.)</strong></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">So much has come from showering, I can't even begin to express. I can literally name various parts of the record that were conceived while cleaning myself. Is that gross? Probably. But the truth usually is. Also, long car rides tend to bring out the ideas. It's like Jim Morrison said: ride the snake to the lake. It doesn't matter how late, how inconvenient, how inappropriate - if ideas are flowing, then you have to give in. I've walked out of movies before. I've snuck into the bathroom on dates to record something into my phone with other people peeing beside me. I've done worse. And it's never not been worth it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong>Q: Writing the songs, practicing the songs, recording the songs, performing the songs: are there parts of the job you enjoy more than others? </strong></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">All of those things have their shiny (and dark) moments. I'd say I like to perform mostly, but not so much for the "performing" aspect. More because that's when those times (potentially) occur when everyone you're playing with is on the same exact wavelength and people out there are on it too – when all at once, the past and the future disappear and there is only the present and I truly believe that nothing in the world matters as much as those rare moments. I repeat: nothing in the world matters as much as those rare moments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong>Q: In an interview, you mentioned your Episcopalian background. Has the experience of communal singing influenced your approach to AgesandAges – either putting the band together or in performances?</strong></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Absolutely. The music is not religious at all, but it has sort of a "churchy" vibe to it in the sense that the people who wrote these songs are proselytizing their way of life and encouraging others to join them. It's inclusive music...and celebratory. Girth has a lot to do with it too. There are seven people in this band. We all sing and clap and shake things. So it's pretty communal feeling. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong>Q: Do you remember the first song you ever wrote? What compelled you to write it? Did you know you were going to write more</strong>?</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Yes, I remember the first song I ever wrote. It is still unfinished. Maybe finishing that song will be the last thing I ever do. It's a sort of tongue in cheek song about a person who spends what little time they're not at work or in traffic, watching other people act out their lives on television. Ya know...like in place of living their own lives. I was seventeen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong>Q: Is there one album or band that’s been a long-term touchstone for you – something you’ve listened to more than any other album over a long period of time?</strong></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">There have been a lot of albums over the years that have reached the "touchstone" realm in my life. And usually, it's not just one album, it's a collection of albums from particular artists. To name a few: David Bowie, Brian Eno, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, Neil Young, Graham Nash (Songs for Beginners), Willy Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Grateful Dead (Workingman's Dead, among others), Kinks, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Black Sabbath, Bob Dylan, Can, Neu!, etc. I like some newer stuff too, but I come back to all of these bands again and again.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";"><strong>Q: Anything else occupying your mind at the moment you’d like to share with the group?</strong></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">We are really looking forward to playing this show! It's going to be fun.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Jewelry maker Jessica Poundstone is a returning Works artist. For the past seven years, Poundstone has made jewelry primarily using shrink plastic. This year she is debuting new designs in clay at Works. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">"After so many years drawing and painting on two-dimensional plastic, it's been really fun to work in 3D with these clay pieces," says Poundstone. The overall feel is more primitive, raw and obviously hand-formed than my plastic work – but the strong color and design elements are still front and center." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">Poundstone will also be featuring her first series of small, sculptural <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bowls for Two or Three Small Things</i>. Envisioned as a place to hold two rings and pair of earrings, the bowls are works of art in and of themselves. Each one-of-a-kind bowl is hand-formed, imprinted and painted.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif";">"This year's event is going to be amazing – I'm so excited to be part of it!"</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Combining fragments of realism and imagination, Brin’s compositions create a world balanced on the edge of familiar and foreign. His paintings create a heightened reality instilled with nostalgia and deja vu.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Brin is largely inspired by industrial areas and old architecture. He finds the juxtaposition of urban landscapes and nature much more interesting than either one element on its own. There is a luring mystery in a moment recorded by only one picture.</span> </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
“<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">What I love about painting is the ability to build a visual image completely from scratch. There is no limit to what the painting can become.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Brin’s current works are acrylic and oil paintings on canvas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His grandmother, Dagmar Wilson, was a landscape painter in Loudoun County, Virginia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being surrounded by her work has influenced Brin’s vision, especially his paintings of buildings and cityscapes. His artwork can be seen in galleries, art venues and events in Portland, the Northwest and California. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">Brin lives and works in Portland, Oregon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His work will be featured on Oregon Art Beat (Oregon Public Broadcasting) in 2012.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;"></span></b></div>

Half-awake, he felt like he was being punked. "I kept searching for all the ways I was mistaken," he says, "but it just kept being true."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztO93X31oHw" target="_blank">No Nostalgia</a>," a full-throated choral pop song about "the feeling of weightlessness" that comes after making a big decision to leave a bad situation, according to Perry, was chosen among 29 songs that will be used at Obama's reelection campaign stops. The mix is eclectic, ranging from classic R&B (Earth, Wind & Fire), pop (James Taylor) and rock (Bruce Springsteen, U2, Arcade Fire) to new country (Dierks Bentley, Sugarland) and lesser-knowns such as Ledisi and Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigators. Unsurprisingly, there are lots of songs about triumph and perseverance – "Keep on Pushing," "Keep Reachin' Up," "Raise Up," "Stand Up."</span></div>
<div bb="38" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;" ua="91">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The AgesandAges song is a little more ambiguous. It may be about an imagined relationship, says Perry, but it's also "oddly political. It almost fantasizes about what it would be like if you could completely remove yourself from a negative climate and invent your own." In other words: Hope.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Though he admits he doesn't know too many Republicans in Portland, Perry says, the song was partly inspired by the sense that the whole country is living in a series of bubbles, where groups of people on either side of the political divide are closing themselves off from other points of view. It's about transcending "the way things can get dark and you can feel claustrophobic, unsatisifed with the status quo," he says.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Though Perry says he's been "a bit of a recluse lately," he went out last night in Portland and got "a lot of back-slaps. People are as weirded out as I am. It's great to be on anybody's playlist, and this happens to be the President. If this isn't the most random thing that's happened in my life, I don't know what is."</span></div>
