SUMMARY:Opening Reception: MICHAEL SCOTT | Poems from the Fire
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 24\, 2026\, 5pm–7pm opening reception. Exhibition runs through May 23\, 2026. The artist will be in attendance. \nInspired by summer evenings in Maine sitting in front of a bonfire\, Michael Scott’s new body of small paintings and poems (framed together) are reflections on the brevity of our lives within the context of cosmological time. \n“Sitting before the flame I felt the heat of its breath like a blanket over me.\nIt asked\, ‘What are you made of? Now that you feel my warmth\,\nare you the same as the glowing log? The rock that holds the heat?’\nWhere do all things begin\, and will nature’s belongings return to their Origin?” \nThis poem\, written in ink below the image of the fire pit in front of the lake\, is the nugget of the intention behind these intimate works. Immediate and volatile\, Fire sits within the context of a northern landscape which is incomprehensibly ancient. Fire is the transient being—our human experience of time. The landscape\, a result of glacial and geological movements\, is cosmological time 4.56 billion years in the making. By assigning these meanings to the painting’s content\, the images and poetry ask viewers to consider how human experience fits within earth’s much longer rhythms. Contemplating one’s own life in this larger context can offer a transformational understanding; an affirmation of one’s significance and responsibility to the natural world we live within. \nEmail

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Francisco Mayor Maestre and Harriet Yale Russell: Overheard Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Whether in Francisco Mayor Maestre’s remnants of imagined working-class lives\, expressed in abstracted images of suburban apartment façades on the outskirts of Madrid\, or in the exotic\, playful and organic abstract internal world depicted by Harriet Yale Russell\, it seems overheard conversations inspire both these artists’s explorations. \nIn a synergy of imagination and structure\, an artist creates a unique visual world. As independent and solitary as that act appears\, it most often requires finding community\, even a sentience\, within the work itself. In this place of dialogue\, the tools of shape\, color\, line\, edges\, rhythm and repetition converse within the artist’s mind and with the artist’s marks to produce a result. From this conversation\, the work evolves over time to resemble\, perhaps even become\, a known\, felt-sense world the artist can share. \nIn an unexpected dialogue between the works of both Francisco Mayor Maestre and Harriet Yale Russell\, the exhibition Overheard Conversations invites viewers to enjoy symbiosis and meaning in the visual worlds of each. \nEmail
