Last Glance, Last Chance Art Day
Last day to take in the photography and ceramics and more featured in Made in Middlefield Part Two at the fun and lively Art Garage, 689 Beaver Meadow Road, one mile from Cooperstown — and adjacent to the ‘Clark trails’ and Meadow. The rich exhibition offers: sublime color photographs of the land, by Jamie Young and soft-focus luminous images of the human form by Jessica Marx — and down-on-the-farm black and white photographs of inquisitive calves and cows by Abby Rodd. Rodd’s focus is a local, Jersey dairy operation, Lentsville Farm, run by the youngest generation of a longtime farm family, the Krahams of Middlefield. In addition to the photography, the exhibition Made in Middlefield Part II: Photography and Sculpture, presents an array of 3D work that includes a pristine sculptural coffin fashioned by farmer / undertaker Frank Green (1861-1932) and virtuoso ceramic sculptures by Eileen Murphy, Robert Seward and Nancy Wiener. Murphy’s salt-glaze vessels teem with wildlife, Seward presents small quirky clay figures with big personalities that sprang from bits of leftover clay, and Ms Wiener offers a triad of monumental abstract art forms: including a column and a trapezoid. Additionally, look for mysterious, theatrical shadowboxes by Peter Marcalus —and his socio-political game of chance– and impressive small wooden objects carved by farmer Ward Green (1932-2023), grandson of Frank. Something for everyone! This is the last day of the exhibition which closes at 2PM. For information telephone call or text 315-941-9607; email leartgarage@gmail.com.
