Women of the Gulf of Maine: Sculptures by Celeste Roberge

Exhibition April 21 through May 28, 2023 at Moss Galleries. Join us for the opening reception, April 21, 2023, 5-7pm, during Seaweed Week.

This solo exhibition includes 24 bronze figures cast from originals made of seaweed and wax, along with 10 photo/collages with seaweed.

“The Women of the Gulf of Maine create themselves through the principle of self-organization, like much of nature. Each sculpture begins with one specimen of wet seaweed that is wrapped around a form. The figures emerge from the ever-changing morphology of the drying seaweed. No two seaweeds ever dry the same.”
