Impart: Works by Bill Porter

One could argue that the way a story is told can be just as important as the​ story itself​. Exploring those nuances is exactly what local artist Bill Porter intends for his new show “Impart.”

Childhood and cultural identity have always informed Porter’s body of work, which has brought him to fields such as illustration, animation, multimedia design and videography. In “Impart,” Porter will call upon his different experiences in visual storytelling while placing a new emphasis on the canvas material.

“My work confronts the history of each individual through metaphor and memory,” Porter said. “This invites the viewer to engage in the instinctual act of drawing connections between the images and materials, thereby constructing their own narrative interpretations.”
