The Old Deerfield Painting Group's 35th Exhibition

Every year, the paintings on the stage represent the response of all of our members to a themed challenge. This year our theme is "Reflections." Taken literally, the image might include a figure and the perspective of that same figure viewed in a mirror. A landscape can appear to be flipped on it's head if it's reflected in a body of water. The theme could be applied to a thoughtful process of recollection. Either way, the "reflection" expands upon the original subject.

An exhibition of B&W photographic prints. Air is not visible. The clouds and the water of the sea, lakes, rivers, and ponds are the pallet, the medium, with which the air makes itself known. The water and the clouds each interact differently with the air and demonstrate the air's emotions, motions, whims and intensities. As water and clouds are different media, they represent the same air in their own unique ways. These change in a moment allowing me to capture two-dimensional pieces of time.

Wade Boswell's imaginative ceramic sculptures reverently invite us to unmask monstrous truths and be with the shadows within us and around us. Boswell works from the lenses of their transness, queerness & neurodivergence, deemed by others as "monstrous"" as well as from the dehumanizing, oppressive parts of our society. The viewer is invited to turn towards the monstrous: to stay present, witness, feel, and to engage in the hard work of transforming ourselves and our society.

Why horses are our favorite subject matter: Human and horse, connected through history. The grace, the challenge of anatomy in motion. The capacity to stay with the request while fighting the urge for flight. Trust implicit in letting a human guide you to a blind jump and then jump into the abyss without seeing the landing zone; the subtle body language between horses. Poetry in their motion and speed. To visually communicate the poetry and body language is what gives us personal satisfaction.

Looking for a large, bright wall for a photography/video project

Location: western MA area
Website: instagram.com/p/DatOMldiWjg

Looking for a large, bright wall where I can photograph a stop-motion video for my latest installation. I'm imagining a spacious studio in one of the old mill or factory buildings, a barn, or another light-filled space with a clean wall. I'm open to ideas! I'll be temporarily hanging small 5×7 paper prints using wall-safe painter's tape, so nothing will be damaged. I expect to need the space for about 3 hours during the day to take advantage of natural light. Western MA preferred, but I'm happy to travel for the right space.
