Maryhill Museum of Art, November 2020
This wonderful little museum is located, let’s be honest, in the glorious middle of nowhere, half an hour east of The Dalles.
Rainier Day 1: Ex-Nihilo sculpture park
Between Ashford and Elbe, Washington, there is an outdoor gallery for an artist named Dan Klennert who builds animals, people, machines, you name it, out of old iron parts or driftwood. Some of it is truly astonishing to see. He calls his park Ex-Nihilo, meaning "something from nothing." And exploring Ex-Nihilo was a real treat.
