"Repose Revisited" at Wilderstein Historic Site
 |
| Repose Revisited locust logs, metal leaf, crocheted wire dimensions variable View 1 |

| Repose Revisited View 2 |
I use wood from the
Widlerstein site to create “Repose Revisited”. The wood is from a locust tree
that had been growing in front of the Wilderstein home for many decades, perhaps
centuries. The tree bore witness to the changing landscape and people who
inhabit it. This sculpture allows the cut tree to continue to be a part of its
original environment, for a time, taking in more of the environs and exuding
the history contained therein.
I arrange the
locust logs to at first appear as if they are randomly fallen. The viewer
happens upon the work as an unexpected cache and discovers the logs are
deliberately placed and significantly altered. The scars and flaws in the wood
have been embellished and celebrated with gold leaf and crocheted wire. The cut
ends have a patina of metal leaf emphasizing their shape.
Locust is considered to be a
strong wood which is very resistant to decay. It is said that locust lasts “one
year less than stone”. Although a strong wood, the original tree had been dying
from age and disease and had to be felled. The passage of time and the effects
of weather continue to act on the sculpture constantly and gradually changing
it. “Repose Revisited” celebrates history, the passage of time, imperfection
and mortality.

"His Eyes Were So Blue" At Betsy Jacaruso Gallery
Opening Reception October 15, 5-7 pm
The Betsy Jacaruso Gallery is pleased to present “His Eyes Were So Blue”, an exhibition of sensuous, lightweight installations by Mimi Czajka Graminski.
Her installations
are inspired by materials that evoke a sense of gravity, invisible air,
and shadow play—such as, delicate fabric, translucent paper, and airy
wool. She says, “I see my studio as a laboratory where I collect
disparate specimens and then manipulate and transform them, sometimes
contrasting them with unlikely pairing”. The exhibition “His Eyes Were
So Blue” includes works where the shadow appears more solid than the
physical media, and the appearance of fragility is contrasted by
inherent strength. Graminski relates these qualities to the intersection
of feminism and femininity—“where strength and delicacy exist on the
same plane."
We will host an opening reception, free and open to the public, on Saturday, October 15th, from 5-7pm.
The show will remain on view through the month of October.

"But Today is Different" A Collaboration with Poet Sarah Stern at Joyce Goldstein Gallery
In speaking about how we arrived at our pairings, we started
in a very literal sense—the colors and shapes and how there was an almost
magnetic pull between the art forms. But then inevitably the conversation would
go beyond that connection, to the very experiences that shaped the pieces and
poems—the natural world, on being a woman in mid-life, family, on losing
parents, on jobs, bonfires, and so much more. To us, these matchings feel
personal and political, and the process by which they came together, deeply
mysterious and humbling.
The exhibit at the Hammond Museum also continues until September.
