art: carmela lily II

artist: Marisa diPaola

artist statement: I am a nomadic sculptor and installation artist. I create wearable site-specific work from found materials, and wear these pieces, as self-portraits, handmade as if by the characters that I am depicting.


The work itself is a collection of psychological self-portraiture through an exploration of fairy tale characters interacting with this world. Not focusing on the "happily ever after" but at the moment of creation, and adaptation to their new journey and to their new habitat.


The natural world became my focus as I began searching for the origins of humanity and the natural connections that bind us to the land. The series explored characters creating a home withing their found habitat, focusing on the beginning of the journey where the path originates. These sculptures are divergent, specific to sites in nature, chosen for their isolation and wilderness. The process of gathering and creation allows each character to investigate their habitat and their own domestication. The documentation appears as wildlife photography, capturing these characters in their habitat, living within their life. All explore the dynamic of self, of the journey, of creating a domestic space for oneself, handmade from the raw materials gathered around.

artscope 11, November/December 2007

 

 

art: Back to the Future, torn and cut paper

artist: Ekua Holmes

artist statement: As a child, I would sit at my grandmother's desk where she had collected junk mail, greeting cards and old magazines for me. I would spend the afternoon cutting shapes out of these discarded items and creating new pictures out of them. Quietly absorbed in my own thoughts, the world of reality would disappear and my hopes, dreams and memories would emerge. It is the same process I encounter as I develop my ideas today.

artscope 10, September/October 2007


art: Temple Roof, photograph

artist: Robert Castagna

artist statement: This series of photographs from Kyoto, Japan present abstract views of shadows, detail, mystery and nature in the tradition of the haiku. My goal is to walk the line, capturing the zen spirit through abstraction and simplicity.


Jurors:

artscope 9, July/August 2007



art: A Romantic Moment

artist: Corey Corcoran

artist statement: My paintings and drawings have always been tied to my love for stories. I like listening to stories. I like telling stories, and I like discovering when I am suddenly part of one. Many of my paintings and drawings take place at points of irresolution. The figures feel caught unexpectedly, and the moment is full of potential. Things could go sour or they might end up all right. My hope is that viewers take in this moment and decide on their own role in the painting.


Jurors:
Jan Howard, Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs at the RISD Museum
Dr. Emil Willers, Executive Director of the Newport Art Museum
artscope writer Sarah E. Fagan



artscope 8, May/June 2007


art: Dance in the Bloom, oil on canvas, 45" x 43"

artist: Yuko Adachi

artist statement: Art is a universal language of the souls. I do not do any preliminary sketches for any of my art works. I just dive in to the unknown and experience where my energy takes me in the given moment. I wish to share with the viewers the joy of being alive through my works.


Jurors:
Center for Maine Contemporary Art Curator Britta Konau
Coordinator of the Inst. of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art Linda Lambertson
artscope writer Catherine Laferriere



artscope 7, March/April 2007 Anniversary Issue

 

art: Bulbs with Pansy, drawing

artist: Helen Meyrowitz

artist statement: "Otto Rank in his book - 'Art and Artists' tells us that art is often born out of a fear of loss and change. In late 2002, I became an up-rooted New York artist in the throes of a very real fear of change and loss due to an unexpected move to Massachusetts. A subsequent series of mixed media drawings of bulbs reaching, striving to put down new roots to grow and eventually flower is my chosen metaphor for my personal effort to create a new beginning. Otto Rank understood that creative challenge."


Jurors:
Director of Phillips Exeter Academy's Lamont Gallery Karen Burgess Smith
The Art Gallery of the University of New Hampshire Vicki C. Wright
artscope writer James Foritano
