Manu Torres Makes Floral Arrangements That Look like They're from Another World - Willamette Week

Torres. "I would walk next to my house to pick mango or palm leaves. They are familiar to me. It made sense to me to use them in my pieces." Torres moved to Oregon when he turned 21, eventually landing a hospitality gig at Portland art center Yale Union. There, he began playing around with flowers from neighbors' yards to make cheap floral arrangements as part of the décor during opening-night galas, drawing on conversations with the artists to craft displays that would complement their work in some way. After a while, he realized he wanted to make arrangements of his own. "When I started Florescent, I knew I wanted to express that I was different," says Torres. "I picked flowers that were not as common, as well as tropical flora, such as palms and birds of paradise. I really like the Dutch still-life paintings—it's what inspired me to start to incorporate fruits, feathers and eventually paint, fabrics and paper." One piece, made of Barbie-pink roses and anthurium painted to match, comes together like a tropical altar for an alien wedding. Another arrangement, comprising blue and marigold ostrich feathers, a single strand of tie-dye-colored grasses and a crown of wavy ferns coated in metallic silver, looks like a Japanese ikebana by way of a Brazilian circus troupe. His work is now regularly featured at the Nike campus and stores like Muji, and he's taught exclusive arranging classes in New York. Despite the clash of materials in Torres' work, nothing ever feels scattered or random. In fact, the connecting theme across his oeuvre is a grounded sense of individuality. His bouquets don't yell. Instead, they seem to calmly say, "This is me, and I'm not going to hide." "When I started, I wasn't great. But it was just a hobby for me, so I wasn't too worried if I was doing it right," Torres says. "It let me get comfort-able thinking outside of the box so I could bring my wild ideas to life."... https://www.wweek.com/culture/2019/09/25/manu-torres-makes-floral-arrangements-that-look-like-theyre-from-another-world/

Prep for a future Columbia River crossing project will be among the office’s priorities.The Oregon Department of Transportation is bulking up to handle a future where the Portland region is an epicenter of highway megaprojects.In an email (below) sent yesterday afternoon to all employees, ODOT Deputy Director Paul Mather announced the formation of the new Office of Urban Mobility & Mega Projects to be based in Portland. A search process for a manager of this office is just getting underway.The move comes in response to House Bill 2017, the $5.3 billion transportation package passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2017. That bill laid out funding for several projects in the Portland region (ODOT Region 1) and it defined “mega transportation projects” as those that, “cost at least $360 million to complete, that attract a high level of public attention or political interest because of substantial direct and indirect impacts on the community or environment or that require a high level of attention to manage the project successfully.” (The bill also established the Joint Interim... https://bikeportland.org/2019/09/06/with-eye-on-portland-area-freeway-expansions-odot-announces-new-mega-projects-office-304413
