Traces: Vanishing Landscapes
August 28-September 19, 2015
Harlow Gallery, Hallowell, Maine

“Traces: Vanishing Landscapes” highlights the visions
of three Maine artists who examine what is left behind as the state’s
economy “modernizes” and shifts. The exhibit offers an engaging and
contemporary dialogue on changing Maine life that is relevant throughout
the state. At the same time, the deep personal connections that Sarah
Brayman, Lisa Tyson Ennis and Shanna Wheelock bring to their subject
matter ensures a heartfelt meditation on change, threading together
sense of place and small-town life. Permeating these three artists’
visions is a respect for common objects, and the people who made, used
or sold them. National and global trends, such as the international
migration of industry, fisheries depletion, chain-store domination of
retail, and reorganization and consolidation of education will be
grounded in the concrete realities of the areas the artists call home:
Lubec and Brunswick areas of Maine, as well as the Canadian isle of
Newfoundland.
Cobscook Pottery is OPEN for the season!

It's 11:30 at night a few days before I deliver work for two shows and prepare for a weekend of open studio time in the Artsipelago tour. Aside from that, the shop is open most days and in between greeting customers I am nose to the grindstone creating art and pottery.
People who have known me for years know very well the kind of work pace I keep. In the past, a docket like this one (toss in an art opening and two days of gallery sitting to the aforementioned list!) would have sent me into a total flurry of fluster. Amazingly, I am feeling quite calm. I AM the proverbial "eye of the storm."
I decided about a week and a half ago to take a short break from pottery production in order to find my groove in studio main. I have had some ideas for sculptural wall pieces that I call "Column Constructions" and decided to finally solidify those ideas. With the help of a local engineer who came over to brainstorm with me and several tubes of high test epoxy, it looks like I am good to go! I'm excited to be showing new work at Crow Town Gallery later this week, and as always, the opening reception will be a blast, complete with good eats, wine, and music.
This summer is a transition phase of sorts. In summers past I spent a chunk of time on the road vending pottery. This summer I am keeping it all closer to home to focus on four gallery exhibits. As well, the herring orders are piling up and at this point it seems most wise to stay put and keep creating. Hey, I won't argue with that!
It's a bit too late and I'm a bit too tired to get deep with this blog entry. For now, I will succumb to these droopy eyelids and get some much needed shuteye.
Loving summer in Lubec!
