Museum statement: As we approach the darkest time of the year, promise of a brighter future helps to get us through. This theme, however, can also be understood less literally. As the writer, poet and visual artist, Kahlil Gibran wrote: If you can see only what light reveals and hear only what sound announces, then in truth you do not see nor do you hear.
Statement about piece submitted:
Fall is a transitional and oftentimes quirky season, moving us between days reminiscent of summer and afternoons surrendering to early nightfall with cool temperatures. Leaves change hue, adjusting their position on nature’s color wheel. Greens shift to a warm spectrum of reds, oranges and yellows as sunlight permeates their translucent fiber. Small, distinct patterns of color fuse to create an abstracted, engaging optical composition.

One Sunday, while on vacation in the Abaco Islands, I heard music pouring from the windows of a turquoise painted building. ALL ARE WELCOME was stenciled on the stone doorstep. It appeared not by accident that I was drawn into the fellowship of this Haitian church. My photographs are neither formal studio shots, nor are they casual street portraits—although my “studio” was in the shade of a building across from the church. That’s how Church Ladies started. It’s an on-going series.
By making a respectful connection with my subjects—even if a “sitting” is no more than five minutes—I try to capture the essence of the individual. I ask them to make eye contact with the camera, and for a few shots, not to smile. My best photographs reflect an honest interaction between my subjects and me, resulting in a narrative portrait of beauty, dignity, and a sense of faith.

Amy Holms George: Juror’s Statement: I believe there is an element of magic that unites all this work, along with the unusual capacity to connect with the viewer in deeply profound ways. I was especially fascinated by images that emerged from developed bodies of work, in which the artist is pursuing a cohesive photographic vision. It’s always exciting to discover an artist who understands how to harmonize his/her creative voice, establishing a signature style that can be easily identified yet does not appear formulaic, familiar, or redundant. Also, I encountered a lot of work that surprised me with its clever transcendental quality—taking me somewhere else, a place of the artist’s invention. Much of the beauty of a photograph is in its inherent nature to communicate a “truth.” However, many of the images in this show challenged my sense of what’s real.

Mixed media: acrylic paint, transparency film, digital print
Electronic technologies impact astounding aspects of our lives, transforming the way we communicate and behave. They are fast and prolific. The over abundance of information we are bombarded with daily can be overwhelming and upsetting. Do we exchange and share too much with excessive messaging, posts, tweets? How do we stop the annoying, intrusive and distracting “noise?”
Superimposed images depict a fury of mixed thoughts being processed by the mind. Graphical representations of sound signals illustrate the strength and frequency of information bombarding us incessantly. To deal, we rely on coping mechanisms to help manage internal or internal stress: separate from a situation, perform a calming ritual or even have a melt down.
Feel overburdened? Can’t keep up? Anxious?
STOP. UNPLUG. BE FULLY PRESENT.

This subject matter, Sensory Overload, makes me smile. It represents a chance to abandon all ideas of how my work is supposed to look.

Sensory Overload #1

Mannequins are inanimate objects with an uncanny sense of aliveness. Making them more (or less) human-like leaves us with feelings of ambiguity. As substitutes for human beings, they become icons of art.
With a sense of detachment, mannequins at Serenella, Newbury Street’s “premier luxury boutique,” watch over pedestrian traffic below. An overload of photographic information is superimposed as one image by using multiple exposures and capturing reflected details.

Selection of work is based on how prints "speak" to one another visually and thematically to create a viewer experience that encapsulates a sense of beauty.

Red, Right, Returning
Photo transfers, collage, resin
Artist's statement: Chatham’s barrier beaches and inner shorelines constantly change—a dynamic ebb and flow of waves, currents, winds and tide. On April 1, 2017 ocean water surged through a “break” in South Beach creating a navigation channel to Nantucket Sound. Mariners returning from sea, position the red buoy to their right.
Reception: Friday, August 4, 6-8PM
Artist Statement: I do not think of myself as a photographer, printmaker or a painter. Rather— without being identified by a single one—I feel free to move past the confines of traditional media or genres. I draw from and mix together an endless variety of available material. Each digital print begins by choosing images from my extensive collection of scanned original paintings, monoprints, photographs and personal markings. Elements are then layered over one another. Hard edges, line, and color fields combine in surprising ways. Blending modes are used with careful attention to color, form and composition. Transparent multilayers echo fainter versions of shapes and textures. By keeping the process fluid, I enjoy a cross-pollination of the various disciplines. Using my computer as both a tool and a partner, I am free to experiment throughout the process. The resulting combined-media image cannot be made by any other means.

Artist Statement: Joseph Campbell writes that all myths deal with transformation of the consciousness of one form or another, either by trial or illuminating revelations. My images represent common themes in women's lives. The photographs never ”tell” but hint at universal stories. I purposely leave the viewer with insufficient information, letting the images evoke an emotional response. Each photograph hovers between the fiction of reality and storytelling.

Because I Can

Reception: Friday, August 4, 6-8PM
Artist's statement: Cast from life or not, a mannequin is an idealized human figure. To reflect my sensibilities and understanding of the history of photography, I reprocess film camera and analogue darkroom techniques with an iPhone camera multiple exposure app. Although exposures are random, I can predict specific overlapping results and make only small alterations in the computer darkroom. From different points of view, layers of information superimpose in one print.

Monotypes are paintings on smooth acrylic plates transferred to paper once only. Artists ranging from Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, Ross Moffett, and more recently Joan Snyder and Michael Mazur have used the monotype medium to express a more spontaneous and evocative range of drawing, painting and printmaking combinations.
Students will make painterly spontaneous images on acrylic plates using small rubber brayers, brushes, Oil Bars, or stencils, and oil base etching ink. Dampened 100% rag paper placed on top of the inked plate, and passed through the press with gentle pressure, results in a unique impression that is intimately and permanently bonded with the fibers of the paper. Overprinting and contemporary experimental approaches with larger rollers produce magical surprises. The glistening layers of radiant ink create truly unique images with depth, mystery, memory and delight. Demonstrations each day will help to develop individual explorations. Beginner to advanced students are welcome. Clean-up will be with baby oil or Simple Green.
Zavorskas Print Studio is air-conditioned and close to Quanset Pond and Pleasant Bay beaches.
Juror’s Statement (condensed)
In my mind and through my eyes, this exhibition is an expression of life, creativity, and ultimately, of love. It is through the lens of love that we cherish the days past and the memories. Emotions of longing, pain, and regret are available through exploring history. While it is our collective love of our humanity and the creatures that inhabit the planet that creates concern for others and our home. Finally are the moments of beauty that remind us to be present.
It is through these artists that we can see the world in a new way. We, in the photography world, are in an exciting time of growth in the myriad of ways that photographic artists can express themselves. Old meets new with a mash-up of approaches and a host of techniques unavailable just a few years ago. While the art isn’t about technique, the ways that people are able to make the work have expanded exponentially. We are the beneficiaries of this wave of innovation and creativity.

As some of you may know, I grew up in a very small town, Goodrich North Dakota (current pop. 67). Last summer I took a course with Tillman Crane photographing abandoned homesteads in North Dakota. We spent a week in Minot, the geographical center of North America. I was able to document my grandparents homestead started in 1900. The sod house is long gone but the farmhouse still remains along with memories of my hearts favorite place on earth.

Story #30
At this complex time in our culture we are being encouraged to express our thoughts and feelings, even though, at the same time, we can face increasing attacks for expressing them. We reached out to artists to discover how this conflicting message is effecting their artistic expression. The artists’ expressions range from the deeply personal to the clearly political, and take diverse forms, from the use of traditional media to the use of new digital media and abstract concepts that speak to our times.

In January of 1943, Peggy Guggenheim shocked the art world by devoting an entire exhibition at her Art of This Century Gallery to women artists only. 31 Women was the first of its kind, devoting the gallery space exclusively to modern women artists, most of whom were operating in New York.
The James Library & Center for the Arts is reinterpreting this revolutionary exhibition as a fundraiser for 2017.

Manufacturers design camping trailers with many of the amenities of home—refrigerators, flushing toilets, TVs, air conditioning. Some even come equipped with solar panels. The RV lifestyle is made up of outdoor enthusiasts and of those interested in traveling and camping rather than living in one location. Many retirees “snowbird” to Florida in the winter and return North in spring.
The owners of this camper have established more permanent roots—Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home….
"Home! Sweet Home!" (also known as "Home, Sweet Home") is a song adapted from American actor and dramatist John Howard Payne’s 1823 opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan; the song's melody was composed by Sir Henry Bishop with lyrics by Payne.

Interpretation of the theme:
"Personal Space" is the physical space immediately surrounding someone, into which any encroachment feels threatening to or uncomfortable. In order to maintain a creative balance in my life I need time alone to think, reflect and absorb the visual beauty of my natural surroundings. This happens most often during walks along the beach, in the woods or in my yard.
The increased use of drones impacts individual privacy because they are unwelcome interruptions and uninvited prying eyes when the pursuit of seclusion is the ultimate outcome.

Artist’s statement: Hipstamatic is my favorite iPhone app because of its aesthetics to film photography. I shot a series of photographs from a taxi using multiple exposures to add subtle layers of space-related information. The giant sculpture of Atlas suggests the past as a point of reference to the human activity on the street.

Juror’s Statement:
Photographs that convey a “sense of place” blend the physical characteristics of a scene, landscape or object with the mysterious essence that emerges from gradually and perhaps unconsciously inhabiting a place over time. The photograph ceases to become an objective document. Instead, it takes on a particular feeling that is invested with something that is often intangible, revealing a deeper understanding of what lies beneath the surface.
How is this “sense of place” communicated in a photograph? Many components including light, content and composition are important, as are clarity and craftsmanship. A well made photograph, for me, is the visual equivalent of a poem, evoking feelings and emotions. A quote from an essay in The Atlantic by Mark Yakich, “What Is a Poem,” states… “A poem helps the mind play with its well-trod patterns of thought, and can even help reroute those patterns by making us see the familiar anew.”
Subjectivity, of course, is inevitable. Selecting photographs is necessarily contingent of the particular jurors taste and aesthetic. That said, it was a privilege and honor to jury “A Sense of Place.”

For Doyle, digital photography exists less in opposition to analogue than as a space to explore the new tools represented by the countless number of apps available to modern photographic artists. The chance to find apps that "reflect my particular artistic sensibilities and understanding of the history of photography" enables the journey from snapshot to highly expressive personal imagery. —George Slade

The omnipresence of smartphone imagery has radically impacted the medium of photography. The ease of image capture, manipulation and upload to the rapidly expanding universe of online platforms has opened up expressive possibilities to billions of people the world over. Granted, not every photo taken with a phone is a prize-winner, but with impressive megapixel numbers and numerous apps, filters and features, the smartphone camera has become a serious fine art tool. In recognition, we created this contest to help stimulate smartphone photo creativity.

Juror’s Statement: Traer Scott
I often say that animals make me human. I am eternally captivated and inspired by the beauty, honesty and intelligence found in all corners of the animal kingdom. Unfortunately, as we humans become a bigger, louder and more pervasive animal, many other species are suffering in countless ways. However even as our planet and the animals that inhabit it are perhaps at the peak of crisis, I also believe that as a society, we are at an apex of collective consciousness and compassion.
I was heartened to see so many submissions examining and exploring the relationships we have with animals, celebrating their amazing adaptations and abilities as well as in some cases, their pure and visceral “animal-ness”. My selections for Animalia are images that evoke curiosity, sadness, discomfort, wonder, humor and awe, all of which are emotions that I regularly feel when contemplating the beauty and fragility of the animals that we share our planet with.

Juror’s Statement:
My selections for In Celebration of Trees represent a very high diversity of tree species, settings and styles. Foremost among my criteria, each image reveals the centrality of tree-as-subject, supported by composition and legibility. Even the shortest narrative must roll from the tongue of the photo, to tell of the tree’s vitality, adaptability, steadfastness, or vulnerability and awkwardness.
In some images, the intellect and calculations of the photographer can be noticed, and in others a simple spontaneous elation from seeing light on leaves carries the message that this tree is important. These higher levels of Tree Consciousness speak well for all who participated. By nature, I tend to stay away from the infrared filtration and color enhancements, but I found the representations of apparent early photo techniques generally intriguing.
Trees are a challenging photographic subject. There are days when none appear worthy of exposure, but even so the search can be good mental conditioning for the right opportunity to appear.

Seeing the Trees
The CAPE AND ISLANDS ART EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION (CCIAEA) was founded in 2003 as a collaborative effort between prospective, current and retired art educators and their supporters. Led by a volunteer advisory committee representing the diversity of our community, the association represents a cross-section of the visual art education community on the Cape and Islands. Regular monthly meetings range in content from hands-on activities, guest artists and lectures, demonstrations of best practice to arts advocacy. Meetings are held at area schools and other cultural institutions. Meetings are scheduled once a month from September to June. The Board of Directors meets monthly prior to member's meetings. We are devoted to the nurturing and support of the goals and aspirations of art educators in the Cape and Islands region. We believe that sharing work and life experience actively encourages the social, academic and creative growth that enhances our classroom performance and enriches the content we provide our students. We are devoted to finding avenues of ongoing educational opportunities for ourselves and our community. We also believe that as a collective group we can speak with a clear and weighty voice to those issues directly impacting the access to and quality of art education across the region.

ArtSynergies - "Exposure Beneath the Layers"
The Journal Project - "Keys: Connecting" featuring The Key Idea
The Barnstable Patriot, written by Patriot staff:
Eight members of the ArtSynergies group are convening their work at the center, presenting "Exposure: Beneath the Layers," a wide-ranging exhibition theme whose varied definitions have inspired the collaborative to create work with both introspective to environmental interpretations. Works range from abstract to representational, surrealistic to playful, and include both two- and three-dimensional pieces. Processes include photo transfers, cyanotype, encaustic, photography, and various types of printmaking methods.
The theme of "exposure" sets out to explore many definitions of the word: "The act of exposing, laying open, or uncovering; unearthing, unmasking, weathering; disclosure, as of something private or secret."
All ArtSynergies artists work to combine computer technology with traditional media, and creative process is fully explored in the new works and varied experimental techniques of the eight artists: Mary Doering, Barbara Ford Doyle, Amy Heller, Martine Jore, Sara David Ringler, Alan Trugman, Lee Connolly-Weill and Joyce Gardner Zavorskas. Each uses digital imaging as one of many methods for making art, expanding on the definitions of collage, montage, and mixed media.
Mary Doering, Barbara Ford Doyle and Martine Jore formed ArtSynergies in 2006, meeting regularly to share information about digital image-making and computer technology. In 2013, five more artists joined the group, and in 2014 all eight members exhibited in a show titled "Printmaking Invitational: Alternative Processes" at Cape Cod Community College. The collaborative continues to grow and explore media and the process of making art.

Alternative Process
As one who holds a special affinity for alternative photographic processes, striving for harmony between process and materials along with imagery and content is as essential as masterful execution to me. And while I’m most often moved by images that peek my intellectual curiosity, I also appreciate work that embraces a simply beauty. I seek art that compels me to see differently, forces me to have pause and retains my attention beyond the average viewing experience. I believe that this selection of work will offer the viewer with a refreshingly diverse and excitingly inventive glimpse into the world of alternative photographic arts.

The Cape Cod Plein Air Painters evolved in 2004 when several local professional artists decided to paint together on a regular basis, to observe directly from nature, and to share ideas sand expertise. The group travels to different sites in all four seasons to document moments in time. In the case of the larger pieces, the painters returned to the location several times at the same time of day and in the same weather conditions to complete the piece. Artists featured in the CCMoA exhibition include Phillip Bergson, Jane Eccles, Maryalice Eizenberg, Steve Kennedy, Bill Maloney, Rosalie Nadeau, JoAnn Ritter, and Joyce Zavorskas.
Artists in the exhibition include Marcia Goodwin, Ann Guiliani, Leslie Kramer, Sara Ringler, Cecilia Rossey, and Joyce Zavorskas. As curator Ann Guiliani mentions in her concept statement, “This exhibit will illustrate how images are transformed through the process of printmaking.”
For many years Amy has been making cyanotype photographs on fabric (a non-traditional surface for printing). She has been photographing a variety of subjects and uses either negatives or makes photograms where objects are placed directly on the fabric. She loves the dichotomy between using 21st century technology of a digital camera and computer-generated negatives, while at the same time employing a 19th century method of sensitizing a surface. Her current series, ‘Still Lives,’ is ‘back to the future’ in that Amy is once again exploring the human form in 2 and 3 dimensions. The 3-D figural sculptures are narrative pieces, revealing stories beneath the surface. They are made of collaged cyanotype photographs, pinned to the surface with silk pins, adding acupunture needles, rope, etc. And once again the figures are in motion, this time literally, mounted on manual and motorized turntables.
Reception/Meet the Artists: October 2, 5:30-7:30
There will be ongoing printmaking demonstrations and hand-on activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 11AM-1PM. Tuesday, September 9: Monotype Printmaking with Sara Ringler. Thursday, September 11: Woodcut Demonstration with Alice Galick.
The photographs of Bill Scully and Alan Trugman explore mysterious nautical themes. Alan's series entitled Beneath the Surface explores intertidal life forms living in shallow erosive environments. These primitive looking creatures create beautiful patterns and shapes as they cling to rocks, reefs and grasses, giving us a depiction of a primordial life that has survived for thousands of years.
Martine Jore is invited to be part of this exhibition which features the work of 100 of the Cape's finest painters, photographers, artisans, and poets inspired by one another's creations.
Curated by Shawn Dahlstrom. This exhibition showcases the work of 49 women from across Cape Cod, working in a variety of media: painting, photography, printmaking, glass, fiber, mixed media, sculpture, encaustic, and conceptual. The women range from 22-82 and include emerging artists as well as established artists.
Seven groups of seven have spent a full year working on their selected themes on which they based their work. The seven themes are: Pleiades, Seven Deadly Sins, Intention, Elements, Seven Generations and Spectrum 7.
Intention is based on “The Seven Faces of Intention,” as enumerated by the self-help author and motivational speaker Dr. Wayne Dyer. One theme or intention is “Beauty.” For this, photographer Mary Doering created a mixed work centering on the image of a woman, her hands coming together in the respectful Namaste salutation used by Hindus and Buddhist. Doering writes, “When we celebrate the joy, grace, and truth in every human being we will see only beauty.”
Juror Eric Aho selected Mary Doering's I AM THROUGH WITH LOVE. Jurors Comments: Nearly all the work submitted was worthy of consideration and nearly all suited the subject of this exhibition. "Love," to be sure, is a tall order to define, let alone represent in painting, sculpture, printmaking or photography. The works selected here, in one way or another, eschew cliché, sentimentality or common expression. Some of them address cliché and sentimentality head-on. As you might expect, this exhibition presents a wide variety of vantage points, attitudes and approaches.
Exhibition includes cyanotype on fabric "Looking Skyward" by Amy Heller, and digital fine art print by Martine Jore.
Interpretations of light, with all of its forms and nuances is the focus of the seventh annual juried winter collaboration between Arts Foundation of Cape Cod and Cotuit Center for the Arts. There were a record 452 submissions from area artists. The jury, composed of art experts chosen by the foundation, settled on 66 of the Cape's top artists including Barbara Ford Doyle ("Morning Fog") and Martine Jore ("Into the Light"). The exhibit contains a wide range of styles and materials. Approximately 2,000 Cape Cod students are expected to visit the show.

Mikael Carstanjen and Mary Doering often photograph at the same location—a Provincetown playground, local beaches and fish piers, Maine boatyards, an abandoned train station, and their own garden. The inspiration for this exhibit comes from the idea; It’s not what you look at, but what you see. Their work is part of four interrelated art exhibits at CCftA, including the huge collaborative installation Piece by Piece.

ArtSynergies members, Mary Doering, Barbara Ford Doyle and Martine Jore, invite artists who generally employ digital tools, but cross over into the world of painting, collage, printmaking, sculpture, encaustic, fiber arts, or bookmaking.

Beyond standard photographic processes, computer tools inspire members of the collaborative group ArtSynergies to explore a world of expanded image making and printing techniques. Mary Doering, Barbara Ford Doyle, and Martine Jore, create a supportive environment which fosters experimentation and innovation. The latest technology and materials become the driving force behind their work as it continues to change and evolve.
Members of ArtSynergies, Mary Doering, Barbara Ford Doyle, and Martine Jore, are redefining digital printmaking. Their images are disassembled, collaged, and reconstructed. Pigment inks are printed onto flexible film plates which are hand transferred to paper, wood, or fresco surfaces. Their art successfully fuses traditional printmaking techniques with innovative computer processes. For the first time, "TRANSfermations" extends the Cyberarts Festival from Greater Boston to Cape Cod by exhibiting the digital work of these three women at the Cotuit Center for the Arts.
