One field trip, two artists...
We had a very engaging and fascinating time on our first field trip to Main Street, Chatham where we visited two local galleries. At Thompson Giroux Gallery Kate Hamilton met with us and talked about her process to make her four times life size garments out of ripstop nylon. Kate also talked about how clothing is a metaphor for shelter. Because of this it seemed only fitting that we enter into one of her works for a photo. Kate was very gracious about allowing us to touch the work, an added treat in my book.
This show, “Big Shoes to Fill” has now ended but you can learn more about Kate Hamilton’s work from her website. I also want to thank Marie-Claude Giroux of the Thompson Giroux Gallery for helping make this wonderful evening happen.
Next we went down the street to the Joyce Goldstein Gallery to delight in Kelly Bruneau’s captivating and joyful drawings on paper...and the walls! Her drawings are expressive and often capture a particular moment in time of excitement, frenzied activity, or embarrassment that comes to life. The show title, “Side Kicks and Friends” really sums up what these drawings mean to Kelly. For more info about Kelly’s work please stop by the Grainery at 15 Main street and speak to Cathi Bruneau, Kelly’s mom.
I would also like to thank Joyce Goldstein for allowing me to use the gallery during the winter months when the gallery is usually closed.
Feeling Lucky? Here is an interesting list of links folks from the reading and discussion group have shared:
