Aether: The Fifth Element Exhibition
The Memory of Nature III
I’m excited to be included in the Aether: The Fifth Element exhibition at the new Blue Raven Gallery in Rockland, ME. You can see five large pieces from my Memory of Nature project in this group exhibition. The opening is tomorrow, November 17th from 4-6 pm, and the exhibition extends until 2024. Hope to see you there!
Creative Destruction
I’m excited to announce that I’m part of a paired solo exhibition at Garage Gallery in Beacon, NY, with an opening reception this coming Saturday from 4-7 pm. The exhibition, entitled Creative Destruction, pairs destroyed (and non-destroyed) work from my series The Anthropocene Surveys with the wonderful work of Caroline Burton. The exhibition runs from June 10th-25th on weekends. I look forward to seeing the exhibition on the walls this weekend at the opening reception!
Annals of the Former World Exhibition Update
in Exhibitions
I’ve been so grateful for the reaction to my current exhibition at Cove Street Arts, and I wanted to share a few links about it here. First, the gallery has a great new page that includes everything in the show. They also created a video showing the exhibition, too.
The always-useful resource What Will You Remember? features this exhibition in this month’s recommended exhibitions in the New England area.
And I love the review of the exhibition by Edgar Allen Beem in the Portland Phoenix recently, too.
The exhibition will be up through September 24th, 2022, so there is still time to see it if you haven’t yet!
Annals of the Former World at Cove Street Arts
My Annals of the Former World project is on exhibition at Cove Street Arts in Portland, Maine through September 24th, 2022. There is an opening reception this coming Thursday, August 11th, from 5-7 pm, and I will of course be making the journey down.
The exhibition is based on my handmade artist book and basically includes all of the photographs from the book (with the exhibition curated by Bruce Brown). You can view and purchase a copy of the book at the exhibition as well.
I haven’t seen this exhibition on the walls yet myself so I greatly look forward to seeing it on Thursday. I hope to see many of you there!
(btw, this exhibition plus many others in New England are included on the essential What Will You Remember? blog).

As things start to return to normal again, you can find my work in two exhibitions at the moment. Kingman Gallery (in Deer Isle, ME) is open for the season and a number of my photographs are on display there along with those of other gallery artists.
Additionally, a large selection of my work is being exhibited at FP3 Gallery in the Fort Point area of Boston, located at 346 Congress St. in Boston in the FP3 Condos (but is on the publicly accessible ground floor). I’ve included a few installation shots of this below.
"Our Maine" Zoom Artist Talk
Pale Fire, Canto One III
I’m excited to participate in the Zoom-based artist talk for the “Our Maine” exhibition at Rockland’s Archipelago Gallery. You can register for the free event here, and the talk will run from 2-3 pm on July 8th. Without in-person big events like openings on First Friday, this is a nice substitute! And, of course, the gallery is open to visitors and maintaining social distancing guidelines.

I’m very pleased to be included in the “Our Maine” exhibition opening June 24th at the Archipelago Gallery in Rockland, Maine. A wide selection of newer work from my Harmony of the Spheres project, mostly from the Pale Fire series, is included.
The exhibition includes four other photographers as well — Olga Merrill, Lisa Mossel Vietze, Josie Iselin, and the late Terry Hire (a great friend of mine who we lost in January). Because of the pandemic, there will not be a traditional opening, but stay tuned for more details on what the gallery will be able to provide.

The wonderful Melt Down exhibition from earlier this year at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockland travels south to Portland’s Lewis Gallery (at the primary Portland Public Library at 5 Monument Square) in an exhibition that extends through September 21st. The traveling exhibit is a bit smaller in terms of included work but should still be amazing.
The opening reception is this Friday, August 2nd, from 6-8 pm. I’ll unfortunately miss the opening as I’ll be picking up my daughter from Girl Scout camp on the other side of the state, but I highly recommend seeing this exhibition.

This is the first update in a long while as I’ve been posting news in another place the last six months, but that experiment is now over and I’m back here.
So, to begin catching up, I’m included in a group exhibition at the absolutely lovely Thos. Moser gallery in Freeport, Maine, through November 2nd, 2019. Selections from my Pyrotechnic project are included. Ten other photographers are included in the show and it is definitely worth a visit.

Next Tuesday, November 6th, is the opening exhibition from 6-7:30 pm. So if you’d rather avoid hitting refresh on your browser on election night as you agonize about the future of our country, consider joining us as we ponder the mysteries of the cosmos instead.

My exhibition closes on this coming Sunday, and I'll be here at Pascal Hall (86 Pascal Ave. in Rockport) every day until then, 1-5 pm (except for closing early at 4 pm on Saturday).

A Sense of Wonder Exhibition at Pascal Hall
in Exhibitions
I'm back from Iceland now (much more on that soon) and I'm very excited to announce a new solo exhibition coming up very soon -- next week, in fact! "A Sense of Wonder" includes a wide variety of my work (really, some of almost everything, including Iceland prints fresh off the printer). The exhibition will be at the beautiful Pascal Hall in Rockport, Maine, a place I've always thought would be perfect for my work.
The exhibition starts next Wednesday, August 8th and extends through August 19th. I'll be manning the gallery myself during the gallery hours of Wednesday-Sunday, 1-5 pm. We'll have an opening reception on Friday, August 10th, 5-7 pm, and I'll give an artist talk on August 16th at 5:30.
I can't wait to see how it all comes out, and hope to see you sometime during the show!
