Birds are his favorite because of their grace and the freedom they exude.<br /> <br /> No one should be kept in an institution, he said.<br /> <br /> Vales began his craft at age 6 in an Eastern Washington institution for the mentally handicapped.<br /> <br /> “I went there for learning,” he said, “I learned more when I got out. I like to be more independent. It’s good for a person, don’t you think?“<br /> <br /> Vales was placed in the institution as an infant and remained there until he was 20.<br /> <br /> He lived with his art teacher and her husband and worked on their farm before moving to his own apartment in Spokane. Public recognition came with his demonstrations at the 1974 World’s Fair in Spokane.<br /> <br /> [Photo]<br /> <br /> Gordon Vales tears silhouettes at Inn at the Quay.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> [[Category: Newspaper Clipping]]</div>
