✡ After a three decade artistic love affair with Louise Nevelson, I finally own one! Not exactly one of her MoMA grade sculptures but an cool silver print she made in the later years of her career. It was hand made by the artist and signed. I purchased it on vacation with my mom in Rockland this past summer.
A new prized piece to accompany my hand made metal tree of life, marble bowls and other signed pieces. One thing I am most proud of is each one has a story behind it. This one is remote kindred life with someone who had a similar tale – a Jew growing up in Maine, feeling like an outsider, but not exactly, and always wanting to reach beyond. I learned of her first in Maine Studies, which where we learn the country song, our state bird, mineral, famous authors, and generally learn civic pride for things like being the free state that entered as part of the Missouri Compromise or how we broke off from Massachusetts because they are awful drivers (just kidding!).
I still haven’t sorted out my photo mess for my blog so I’ll just post one here:
