SUMMARY:Women of the Gulf of Maine: Sculptures by Celeste Roberge
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition April 21 through May 28\, 2023 at Moss Galleries. Join us for the opening reception\, April 21\, 2023\, 5-7pm\, during Seaweed Week. \nThis solo exhibition includes 24 bronze figures cast from originals made of seaweed and wax\, along with 10 photo/collages with seaweed. \n“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.” \n\nCeleste Roberge\, Women of the Gulf of Maine #23\, Cast bronze\n
