A FINE LINE

On view

October 5-31

A FINE LINE an exhibition of representational and non-representational works of art. Working with different media the selected artists experiment with linear mark making in its widest sense. Each artist produced works inspired by places and spaces in the natural environment.

Featuring regional artists: Sharon Abbott-Furze, Bill Baily, Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, Karen Doyle, Bob Kroll, Linda Fenton-Mendenhall, Carolyn Lindberg, Emily Miller, Christine Trexel, and Russell J. Young.

“The Wrackline baskets are reminiscent of the flotsam washed up at the high tide line: the border between sea and shore, a fine line indeed.” Emily Miller

The wrack line is the line of debris left on the beach by high tide. The wrack line may be composed of a variety of materials, both organic and inorganic.

Common organic component is seaweed, such as kelp, crustacean shells and feathers. Inorganic components include bits of plastic, all kinds of ropes, and man made debris.

Welcoming coastal artists Rebecca Herren and Dorota Haber-Lehigh.

Introducing emerging artists Ray Althaus and W. T. Brown.
