VIEWPOINTS |
August 13 - September 18, Opening
Reception: Friday, August 13, 5-7 pm
This exhibit explores the works of five artists. Through their
independent use of photography, oils, fabrics, and organic materials
such as clay, enamels, metals and glass, Viewpoints is an exhibit
reflecting diverse interpretations of the artists' world around them.
A collective sense of personal connections to the earth, the
fragility and timelessness of nature, the essence of life experiences,
and the celebration of imperfections around us. |

Robert James Hacunda
Plein air works focusing on growth from the earth: the
crop through the seasons. "We are living in times when
our open space is rapidly vanishing; filling up with housing
developments and shopping malls. The farm has provided
a sanctuary where I can still work; a place where man has
left a positive aesthetic imprint on our landscape." |

Dolores Thomson
Wheel thrown vessels, more sculptural than functional,
reflecting a sense of motion with the attitude of music and
dance. "The vessel is representative of things that
matter and need to be kept safe." In ancient times the
vessel was a symbol of the Feminine; the giver of life, well
being and nourishment. |

Judith Plotner
"Fiber Collages" that reflect her personal view of life -
covering aspects from the beauty of her natural surroundings
to the social issues of our times. Integrates her love
of fabric and collage with her training as a painter and
printmaker. "My intent is to distill my experiences until
all that is left is pure essence. This essence,
combined with typography and fragments of written messages
form the core of my work." |

Anne Havel
Jewelry pieces intended to express humor, or make a social,
political, or environmental statement. "Even nature,
which for me is the closest anything comes to perfection,
manifests its 'perceived flaws' in the imperfect flower, the
decaying tree bark, or the mould-ridden fence-post."
Materials are sterling, fine silver and/or copper sheet,
wire or tubing, 14kt gold, stainless steel, brass, pearls,
and various precious or semi-precious stones. |

John Kudukey
Black and white photography observing and recording the
quiet and unassuming Battenkill River's varied and transient
moods as it flows from Manchester, Vermont to its confluence
with the Hudson River in New York. "Today the
Battenkill is woven into the culture of Vermont and up-state
New York. However, the Battenkill remembers every
voice it heard and if one listens, it reveals its own." |
