Artist Description
Paul Bowen pairs and joins humble boards and fabric – some gathered years ago on beaches or forest paths. Karen Kamenetsky adds dye and paint to her fiber wall hangings, and creates dimension and textures through the process of wet felting, while Sharon Myers’s cut geometric pieces of cloth contrast with linear patterns. Maine artist and jeweler Lauren Pollaro fashions wire, rusted metal and painted papers together into hanging wall sculpture.
Artist Jessie Pollock is “…fascinated with stones and stonewalls” and places stones into small frames within her painted canvases. Erika Radich buries her “soil prints” under ground, celebrating the beauty and random nature of their decay. For decades Larry Simons has been recycling driftwood, wooden molds and scraps and embedding them into his assemblages – guided, he suggests, by “a visual version of perfect pitch.”
