Nude self-portrait on a rug stolen
MCMINNVILLE, Ore. -- Tamera Bremer titled the life-size nude self-portrait she laboriously wove into a rug "the sexy sex: all-nude review rug one." Somebody apparently found it fetching, and late Monday it vanished from an exhibit floor at Linfield College. Bremer said the latch-hook work took thousands of hours and she valued it in the five-figure range. It was the first in a five-rug project the Portland artist, an adjunct professor at Linfield, has in the works. The curvy cutout was fashioned from monk's cloth, a heavy cotton, and hand-painted in 10 colors on alpaca yarn. "I don't understand why anyone would want to steal something like this," she said. "Whoever did it doesn't understand what they've done. It's my life's work." A video camera and two pieces of student art also were missing. McMinnville Police Capt. Dennis Marks said officers will check with local second-hand stores. But if it's college kids, it's probably in somebody's room, Marks said.
