Lan Su Chinese Garden

Limei Lai Art Show: Temperature in Life
2026-04-27 10:00 - 2026-06-21 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Lan Su Chinese Garden, 239 NW Everett Street, Portland, OR, 97209, United States
On display through June 21, 2026 | Free with admission or membership

Explore intricate fabric installations by Limei Lai, a Portland-based Chinese American artist. In her own words: “On top of a chaotic, messy, tangled, frayed, knotted forest of seemingly random threads, tapestry finds order and beauty, much like art and life.”

This installation is in collaboration with the Many Bridges exhibition at Blackfish Gallery running through May 30.

About the Installation

Series 1: Indoor black and white embroidery work

This series of works are reflections of my past. Thinking about intergenerational communication and cultural conflict. The narratives are quite clear on the composition of the work, while the underlining thoughts are the daily constant practice of do and undo cultural learnings.

Series 2: Outdoor colorful embroidery work

This series of work is made with the idea of we situate ourselves in a safe, soft place for trust and connection. The artist’s hope is that these mini sculptures can accompany the trees, can dance in the wind, and can sing if humans shake them, move them to a different place, or dance with them. They have a little red heart in them that is ready to sing and dance.

Engage with the Artist — Childhood Play Memory Exchange

Sunday, May 10 | 3-5 PM | Free with admission or membership

Artist Limei Lai invites the community to contribute to the installation by sharing a moment of your childhood play. Place your memory in one of the fabric pieces hanging in the Scholar’s Courtyard as a temporary home, then they’ll go to Blackfish Gallery to be hung under a swing and create a communal sculpture.

Artist Statement

Weaving experiences of her 30 years in China and 15 years in the U.S., Limei makes textile pieces about connections and communications. The idea is that memory exchange creates a present communication. It exists in time, makes space, constructs identity, and situates us in a closer connection. She believes that we all have a burning kind heart in us that could share some warmth by creating a communal moment.
