FLUX & FLOW Summer show at Off Main in Wellfleet

7/9/2018

1 Comment

 
I am pleased to be part of Off Main Gallery in Wellfleet MA, in its second season.   Robert Shreefter, artist, and his partner, Wendy Luttrell, two of the people who opened the gallery in 2017, have reconfigured the gallery and made it stronger.  They invited 9 other artists to be members of the gallery.  Each artist will have a three-week solo show and otherwise have work in the main room during the season. 
My show opened on July 21 with a talk by each of us. THE OPENING WAS WELL ATTENDED AND ENTHUSIASTIC.   I've included the announcement and the press release below.  My imagery refers to Cape Cod, the eastern seacoast of the U.S., and the volatile terrain of the Reykjanes peninsula of Iceland.  I'm showing dimensional landscapes and archival pigment prints.

"Our earth is not a stable entity; we live on its very mobile surface.
The natural world is far from settled but ever changeable

From the Press Release

Ewen has chosen an apt title for her show: Flux & Flow.
As the works on display make clear, the movement of the earth’s surface is a source of inspiration and imagery for her. She explores anthropogenic climate change and its effect on land and water: rising seas, drying rivers, shifting coastlines and volatile geothermal terrains. Her abstract landscapes refer to Cape Cod, the Eastern seacoast, and the Reykjanes peninsula of Iceland. Ewen’s palette includes umbers, ochers, crimson, and sienna with occasional blues and greys. Maps, photographs and charts are turned into sculptural collages, allowing us to imagine ourselves within a dimensional landscape.
As she says, “To inhabit the world—or artwork—is an important way of understanding it.”
