THE LITTORAL ZONE
Lorwen (Connie ) Nagle

Throughout the month of August, Kennedy Gallery will present The Littoral Zone, a series of plein air oil paintings by local artist Lorwen “Connie” Nagle. Included in this exhibit are paintings of the coastal shoreline, estuaries and wetlands surrounding the Piscataqua River, Portsmouth , and the Atlantic Ocean.

An artist as well as a psychologist, Lorwen focuses on the interplay of the seen and the unseen within the tidal areas, drawing parallels in her art between that dynamic and the constant interaction between our conscious and unconscious self. “We are , like the shoreline, moment by moment remaking ourselves.”

Please join us for an Opening Reception on Friday, August 2, from 5-8 pm in conjunction with the monthly Art Round Town Gallery Walk.

An exciting Pit Firing Workshop with Ken Lumbis, sculptural Ceramic Artist, (www.KenLumbis.com) who will introduce you to some of the pit-firing techniques that he uses to create his ceramic sculptures; primarily wall-mounted pieces.

A variety of topics will be covered with a powerpoint presentation as well as demonstrations. Topics covered will include pre-firing techniques, pit-firing procedures and additives, post-firing treatments and mounting/display options.

Ceramic panels will be provided for each participant to prepare for a pit-firing that will occur on site. Decorative elements and pit-firing additives will be provided. Participants may bring pieces of copper, small in size, that they might want to incorporate as a decorative element. The pieces will then be treated as necessary. In addition Ken will have some of his finished works here to exemplify various techniques.

The workshop will take place at Miep’s Studio Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25 beginning at 10:00. Sunday will likely be a short day as the items will have been fired later Saturday and cooled overnight to be removed from the pit on Sunday. You may wish to bring your own lunch or some delectables to share. Coffee and Tea and Water are provided.

Cost of the workshop is $100 payable in full upon registration with Mary Parslow. mparslow As local Potters are eager to join this workshop, register ASAP as there are merely 15 spots available!

It has been contended that the difference between science and art is that, when an artist paints, he or she is painting a particular moment in time, and that the process of doing so not only changes the artist, but the artist's world, making it impossible to replicate the result. What changes, it seems, is the artistic vision. In this solo exhibit, come join Elaine L Hughes as she explores this concept, through a series of pairs of paintings of identical scenes. Reception is September 15, 2019 from 1 to 3 pm at the Coast Collective; artist will be in attendance.

The Artist Colab was launched at Key City Public Theatre in 2019. Designed to encourage unique collaborations between artists and art forms, the Colab annually culminates in public presentations at Key City Playhouse. This initiative in is alignment with KCPT’s core value of nurturing new artwork creation by generative artists. The results are performances that transcend form, expanding KCPT’s reach to new audiences and artists. Participation is through invitation by KCPT’s Artistic Director and extended to notable artists from our community whose work is not primarily theatrical, in the sense of telling a specific story via actors. Each invited artist is given a month long residency and is required to identify and include at least one artistic collaborator whose work is in a different art form. The Artist Colab provides valuable resources and opportunity so that individuals may engage in artistic risk taking, explore new methods and mediums, and foster dynamic creativity between collaborators.
