IMMER MOWRY COOK Artist’s Statement
I grew up in and currently live in Easthampton, MA. An interest in modern and contact improvisational dance led me to pursue the study of dance in college. While there I found my way to ceramics and have been committed to the medium ever since. I have been creating work out of a shared community studio in Florence for the past few years. I use traditional hand-building techniques and occasional wheel thrown elements to create my sculptures. My work has generally always made reference to vessel forms, using the architecture of the vessel( foot, body, handle, spout), as a vehicle for self expression. One thread in my current body of work represents a departure from that focus. In this series I tried to develop a personal iconography which led me to a series of portraits and the incorporation of a pedestal element into my compositions.
SUSAN VALENTINE Artist’s Statement
I moved to Leverett from Boston in 1992. It was here that my heart found a home and my artistic nature began to find nurturance . Currently my focus is portraiture. Portraits of vegetables and fruits, that is. We all know their beauty. I’m just here to show you my personal relationship with that beauty. Does cooking take longer that way? Yes. Yes, it does.
Open during ANO until 6 pm on Friday, March 11th. On view March 2nd through 30th. No reception is being held.

Gravity + Other Thoughts by Mo Willems
R. Michelson Galleries, 132 Main Street
“2021 was an odd year, numerically and culturally. As they have for the past few years, making abstraction has been a solace. Color, shape, and form can change, but their fundamentals are reassuringly eternal. Showing the Gravity works to a friend, I was told, ‘You’re trying to keep a lot of balls in the air.’ Aren’t we all?” – Mo Willems
All of Mo’s proceeds from this exhibit will be donated to The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
Exhibit open during ANO from 5-8pm on Friday, March 11th.

I primarily paint with oils, although I also use acrylic and mixed media. I am self-taught. I have studied graphics, printmaking, watercolor, drawing and painting at various workshops at the Decordova Museum of Art School in the 90’s and continued my journey into the present. I have been painting in oils since 2001. I studied the concepts and techniques of oil painting at Greenfield Community College with Budge Hyde for two years.

Recoded Memory: glitch in the age of post-photography by Sabato Visconti
CLICK Workspace, 9 1/2 Market Street
Details: Recoded Memory features a collection of glitch photography and augmented reality works that explore how digital imaging technologies reconfigure our collective and personal experiences, using 3D modeling, databending, and algorithmic processes to highlight the inherent instability of images and our own memories.
Sabato Visconti is a Brazilian-born photographer and new media artist based in Northampton. Since the start of their experiments with glitching digital photography in 2011, Sabato has interrogated how traditional imaging practices have become absorbed by digital processes, hybridized media, online networks, and machine intelligence –technologies that have also enabled apparatuses for social conditioning and mass surveillance. Sabato's works capture the personal and environmental conditions of subjects living within systems designed to fail and malfunction.

The Svalbard Archipelago by Rhea Banker
Hosmer Gallery at Forbes Library, 20 West St.
Rhea Banker’s work (pictured above) is based on ancient movements recorded within the Earth’s crust. During this time of climate upheaval, she has focused particularly on the changing far edges of the Arctic landscape.
Recently she participated in an art residency in the Svalbard Archipelago, 10 degrees below the North Pole. Her images respond to the deep connections she experiences between stone, sea, and ice.
Paul Hetzel’s photographs (pictured below) explore rock formations in Nevada’s Valley of Fire, which derives its name from red sandstone formations which formed from shifting sand dunes 150 million years ago. “The grand masters created magnificent works of art utilizing their brush strokes and color palette. My intention with this exhibit is to display a collection of magnificent colorful creations fashioned by Nature’s Palette.

Canary in the Coal Mine, Zea Mays Printmaking

"Evening Grosbeaks" by Leslie Moore
Did you know that North America has lost 30% of its bird species since the 1970s? That 2/3 of North American Birds face extinction from rising global temperatures? We called on printmakers to promote awareness of the vast numbers of avian species that are at risk due to climate change.
Artists were invited to select a bird from The Audubon Society’s list of 389 bird species currently threatened with extinction, and to create an edition of prints using an upcycled printing plate.
Canary in the Coal Mine is also a fundraiser for the Mass Audubon Arcadia Sanctuary, the National Audubon Society, and Zea Mays Printmaking’s Technical Research Program. Prints can be purchased here.

The Bearded Lady Project
Northampton Center for the Arts at 33 Hawley Street
The Bearded Lady Project confronts public stereotypes of scientists by celebrating inspirational, adventurous women who have dedicated their lives to paleontology, searching for clues about past life on Earth. These images harken back to the stylized photographs of male paleontologists in historical texts. The beard, a potent symbol of masculinity, is added to the women's portraits to highlight the inequities and prejudices that persist in the sciences. The Bearded Lady Project seeks to educate the public and inspire the same recognition and respect for women in the sciences that their male colleagues typically receive. The Project has been brought to the Valley from the Smithsonian by Northampton Open Media.

LEN SEEVE: Photographs of Vietnam
I’ve travelled to Vietnam a number of times over the years and each time I’ve been enthralled by its sensual impact – the colors, textures and smells. From the rice terraces in the mountainous north to the street food of Hanoi, from the fishing villages on the coast to the water buffalo markets in the countryside, the journey of the senses can sometimes seem overwhelming.

KAREN GARDNER: Birds and Nature Photography
Though my eye is always searching out birds to photograph, I also love to photograph landscapes, seascapes, and other critters. Birds, though, are my greatest interest and I try to capture the detail of their intricate patterns, their colors and especially the personality of each bird I’m lucky enough to encounter.
