DESCRIPTION:University of Oregon Visiting Artist Lecture Series\nPresented 
 by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research\n\n“When I first st
 arted adding knitting to my sculpture\, I was excited that I could quickly
  customize a ubiquitous material and apply it to sculpture as a stand-in f
 or the body.  It was a skin paused in motion.  I could move away from a sp
 ace that felt stratified and stale\; however\, through a number of importa
 nt texts and exhibitions that dove into the archive\, I clearly saw there 
 was a lineage of marginalized artists that had come before me working in t
 he same space without recognition.  The space of Craft is not without its 
 own difficulties and problems\; they persist. But being able to invest in 
 material\, process and a discipline has been an antidote and nourishing pl
 ace for making during the uncertainty of Covid.” Jim Drain\, 2023\n\nJim
  Drain was born in Cleveland\, Ohio in 1975 and attended the Rhode Island 
 School of Design (1994-1998 BFA\, Sculpture).  Drain was a member of Force
