Hadlock Field is home to the Portland Sea Dogs, the Eastern League Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Opened in 1994, it has a seating capacity of almost 7,000 and is named after long-time Portland High School baseball coach Edison Hadlock.
After affiliating with the Boston Red Sox in 2003, the Maine Monster, a replica of Fenway Park's the Green Monster, was added to left field. A replica Citgo sign and Coke bottle were also added to make the field look even more like Fenway Park. Previously they were affiliated with the Florida Marlins since becoming an Eastern League expansion team in 1994.
Vitaliy Georgiyev’s 40-day journey from Kyiv, Ukraine, to Moldova, Romania, Mexico and finally to Southeast Portland began Feb. 24, 2022, when he woke up to the sound of exploding ordnance. He and his wife, ex-wife and three daughters overcame many obstacles to flee the war and now face an uncertain future.

KINTSUGI
The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru
Kintsugi, (pronounced keen-tsue-ghee), uses powderedgold over lacquer-repaired seams to magnify the beauty that emerges from breakage. This 500-year-old method ofmending damaged ceramics evocatively reminds us of theremarkable human capacity to overcome challenges and adversities. Artist and professional ceramics conservator, Naoko Fukumaru, combines state-of-the-art restoration techniques with traditional kintsugi repair methods to create work that highlights imperfections while exploring new possibilities for this noteworthy craft. Here in the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery, our kintsugi exhibition features Fukumaru's experimental work, which courageously divergesfrom tradition to express the redemptive potential [really?] born from the act of sensitively reconstructing something that has shattered. For Fukumaru, practicing kintsugi is not merely about repairing damaged physical objects, but finding new nways to celebrate the history, artistry, and symbolism of each piece by choosing to cherish rather than trash what has been broken.
Fusing kintsugi-repaired vessels with unconventional materials like thread, textiles, and surprising plaster forms of mushrooms, succulents, crystals, and animals, Fukumaru conveys a journey from vulnerability to strength. Urushi lacquer is at the heart of much of Fukumaru's work. In addition to helping rejoin the broken fragments, urushi can be layered to develop texture and three-dimensional forms.
It can also be used as a paint, which draws from the maki-e lacquer decorating tradition, where surface designs are meticulously painted with urushi then sprinkled with powdered gold or other precious metals to accentuate the designs. However, instead of the typical maki-e motifs of plants and animals, Fukumaru's urushi decorations are reminiscent of neurons, sparking connections between disparate pieces that she has attentively attached to the restored vessels. Delving into what it means to be beautifully broken, Fukumaru expands the horizon of kintsugi as a powerful art form.
The exhibition continues in the Pavilion Gallery

I asked permission to take photos in almost all cases, and in all photos where I was aware of a child in the photo, I asked permission to take the photo and post here.
I did not ask permission for many group photos, where poses were being done for
photos, assuming that taking those photos was implied okay. If you have any questions please message me through my Flickr page. Thank you!
Some times I include photos of both front and back because often times cosplayers have created something elaborate on the back side - and they never get to see what it looks like!
