Somerville Open Studios (4-5 May)

From my “Un/Broken” series

From my “Un/Broken” Series

It’s that time of year again—Somerville Open Studios—when Somerville’s many artists open their workspaces to visitors for the weekend. If you enjoy art, this is a wonderful opportunity to see what we have been up to over the winter and to talk to us about our work. If you happen to stop by Vernon Street Studios (where I am one of more than 80 artists sharing work this weekend), please drop by my studio (#19) to say hello. This year I will be sharing pieces from my long-in-the-making newest series, entitled “Un/Broken”—abstract images created from my own old work that explore the unbroken and cyclical notion of the eternal. There will be plenty of other work too. I hope to see you this weekend.

The Shape of Color--5 Abstract Artists

Spring is finally here and so is ”The Shape of Color—5 Abstract Artists”, the newest exhibition at the Brickbottom Gallery in Somerville, MA. And I am delighted to have multiple pieces from my Unbound, Measure of Light and Geography of Light series in this exhibit hanging alongside the work of the following abstract painters: Ellen Weider, Francie Lyshak, Gordon Feary and Philip Gerstein. If you are in the mood to experience how these artists respond differently to color, please stop by to take a look.

Somerville Open Studios (6-7 May)

It’s that time of year again when Somerville’s many artists open their studios to visitors for the weekend. This may be the spring outing that you have been looking for—beautiful weather on the horizon, a chance to see what is going on inside many studios and to talk to artists about their work. If you happen to to stop by Vernon Street Studios (where I am one of more than 80 artists sharing work), please drop by my studio to catch a sneak preview of the project (still very much in process) I have been working on this winter. The underlying question informing this project is “What do you do with your old art?”. Plus there will be plenty of other work too. I hope to see this weekend.

Introducing In/Sight

Following directly on from my Re/Place series, I continue to document the contents of my home. In/Sight explores the process of discovery that emerges when we observe closely—what we see from afar may not be what we see when we move closer. Each image, through its title (a question that I pose to myself), reflects my relationship to the objects themselves—books suggest the issues I contemplate, hard drives the nature of memory, vintage DVDs the strength of attachment, food the desire for security.

On a more personal note, in October I am moving my studio from northern Maine to the Boston area. If anyone is interested in visiting, please drop me a note.

Two Things...

I am delighted that one of my images from my Re/Place series has been included in the New York Center for Photographic Art’s (NYC4PA) “Abstract”exhibition. To view the exhibition, please click here.

Two images from my Frozen Light series are currently on display in Brookline (MA), together with the work of eight other artists from the Array Collective.
