Mary Woodman is deeply connected to her native state of Maine. She sees its many different faces and captures them via several styles of work.
Her urban images and Negative Space series do not celebrate Maine's blue sky summers but the Maine its year-round residents see: cloudy days, rain-soaked streets and its iconic architecture and hidden corners. Many of the images are painted by the artist, presenting a weirdly familiar but out-of-sync picture.
Mary's still life "objets" are often the unexpected: a foil-wrapped pear, a bee hive, a very old and long-forgotten ball of harnessmakers' twine. These photographs make us stare: their gorgeous singularity demands our attention.
Debuting this month are 19 new still life photographs and a new print size available: along with our usual offering of her square format images at 21x21 ($1000), we will offer a 14x14 print ($650) able to stand on its own or become part of a suite of images grouped together.
Meet the artist, enjoy the work, join us for refreshments on September 17! Click here to RSVP and receive directions to the event!
