Light at the end of the tunnel
Portland makes winter brighter with light festival
Projecting Portland. Displayed in the World Trade Center, this art piece projects shapes of Portland onto the wall around it. The title of the piece is, “A Lamp to Read Seuss By,” by Richard Miner. It took nearly 200 hours to create. Each piece of the lamp shade has an image from Portland. Bridges, animals, bikes, and more can all be seen rotating around. “Each of the polygons is irregular and unique,” Miner said. “There's only one way they will tie together to make the ball shape.”
Powered by the Willamette Light Brigade, the Portland Winter Light Festival (PDXWLF) took place across a few main areas throughout downtown Portland. From Feb. 3-11, Pioneer Courthouse Square, the World Trade Center, and the Electric Blocks were lit up with light art installations. Pillars of light, fire pits, and a DJ booth paired with light-up dance floors were all part of the experience. Visitors walked the streets of downtown to get from location to location.

With patience, practice and a little assistance, Henry was able to successfully sculpt his first bowl. “It’s hard to pick up on,” Henry said. “Once Justin [Rademacher] helped me center it, I started to really enjoy it.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG_2717-240x150.jpg)
