On June 10, 2006, Temescal Amity Works organized the Temescal Farm Walk, a walking tour of four neighborhood homes that explore what a yard can truly yield. Ranging from single family houses to apartment flats to cohousing collectives, these four "farms" display a fascinating range of approaches to varieties of crop production, backyard husbandry, grey-water recovery and community structure. We asked each of them to write a short biography of their endeavour and created a broadside poster to document the whole event.
This file was designed to be printed out on 11" x 17" paper. We recommend either a tan or beige stock to re-create the full effect!
Temescal: Take It With YouJuly 1, 2005
During the first half of June, Portland-based artist, Brittany Powell, had a residency at the Temescal Amity Works Reading Room. During her time in the neighborhood, Powell, walked extensively and made photographs and paintings of the buildings that stood out to her. She has crafted nine of these local landmarks into a series of prints titled Temescal: Take It With You, each of which can be cut out, folded together and glued into place to form three dimensional structures such as the examples pictured to the left. You can download these prints through the links listed below and put together your own Temescal neighborhood today!
