Cherie Mittenthal did a wonderful job of uniting three artists who work within a fantasy theme. Vico Fabbris paints composed flowers in watercolor that float and travel throughout classic and exotic locations. Anna sculptures are depictions of animal parts displayed in whimsical, yet compelling vignettes in bronze and stone. Gregory paints microscopic and cosmic landscapes of energetic shapes the interact and react with each other in encaustic with mixed media. The common thread of each artist's use of familiar objects deconstructed, then reconstructed was engaging. Below are some installation shots of the exhibit and also of Gregory's workshop which ran concurrently.</div>

When I was asked by the Executive Director of The Brush Gallery, Eileen Byrne, to curate an exhibition of art in encaustic, my dream was to find a concept that would bring together artists who work in this medium. It was so important to me to have the medium be secondary to a cohesive theme. I chose pollination as that theme because of its nuanced definitions. I also wanted to use the beautiful and life-sustaining pollinating activities of bees, producers of our beloved wax, as a point of inspiration. To further enhance the scientific and ecological aspects of pollination, I invited Laura Tyler, an artist, beekeeper, and producer of a lyrical documentary about bees and beekeepers, to show her film, “Sister Bee,” and to speak about it. Tony Lulek, President of the Norfolk County Beekeeper Association, was also invited to educate us on the environmental issues concerning bees, such as Colony Collapse Disorder. This fusion of art and science is intended to broaden the cultural aspects of this exhibition as well as to stress the importance of bees as pollinators and producers of the wax used by artists in creating art with encaustic.<s><o:p></o:p></s></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">Pollination can be defined in so many ways: literally, emotionally, metaphorically, politically or poetically. I chose each artist for his or her unique vision and ability to use encaustic to express it. I looked for artists whose work speaks to movement, change, storytelling and reformation. As you look at the works, you will find motion, creation and the elapsing of time to be common threads. Kim Bernard’s work embodies movement with its elegant gestures. Binnie Birstein and Milisa Galazzi speak in a lyrical and metaphorical manner about the path bees follow. Lynette’s work is a collection that demonstrates the birth of a new object from the union of two others. Sue Katz and I used pollination as a metaphor to make a social networking commentary. Nancy Natale’s work displays a mathematically formal arrangement that alludes to the order of the beehive and the colony, yet contains a philosophic view about life and society. Toby Sisson’s use of marks and shapes that combine and reform are reminiscent of the act of pollination. Laura Tyler uses flower parts, the essence of pollen itself, combined and reconfigured to convey a sense of rebirth. Donna Talman’s works show a progression and path, and symbolize the fragile transportation of pollen with a timeless, ancient sense. Kellie Weeks relates to fluid aquatic movements with a scientific approach to pollination. As you read the passages each artist has written to describe their work or give their personal comments on the theme of pollination, you will get further insight and understanding of the artists’ intentions.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">My work is a cross pollination of movement, mark making and mindfulness. Working large, with a 4’x8’ panel on the floor, I created gestural ink markings as a record of my body movement with a mop as a brush. After selecting circular sections from the 4’x8’ panel, I cut them out, sealed them with encaustic and played with different overlapping arrangements on the wall. This mark-making process required that I was “in the moment” and that things came together all at once, hence the title <i>Holus-Bolus</i><span style="font-style: normal;">, which means “all together; entirely; without modification.”</span><br />

To me, pollination describes a journey, a search from the starting place to an unknown destination. Like a bee searching for nectar, this journey appears hit-or-miss, zigzagging from one place to another. The bees, with their seemingly endless energy, look as if they dart around aimlessly, yet they manage to find their way. Similarly, in my work, I have a concept when I start, but in the process of visualizing that idea, the work speaks to me, provoking more thoughts, an evolution of one idea to another and a search for resolution. One visual idea begets another, or pollinates, helping me to realize the path. It is critical that I approach my work with energy and that the work shows that energy although the spatial relationships in my paintings create the feeling of ambiguity<span style="color: black;">.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">I am intrigued with the idea of pollination as metaphor for the ways in which people connect and communicate with one another. This series is called <i>Waggle Dance</i><span style="font-style: normal;">, as that is the name of the secret dance that bees do to communicate with one another about where to find nectar. My work in general is about connections between people and the ways in which humans communicate with one another, especially when we cannot physically be close to one another (as in the relationship with a mentor or a relative who is no longer present). These pieces are created by hand-sewing paper, then cutting away the negative space, and then dipping the work in encaustic to preserve and strengthen the piece. The work hangs about an inch off the wall and casts shadows on the wall behind it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">Essentially these pieces look like paper lace – strong yet delicate. The visual idea behind the work is that what is <i>not</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> there is more important than what </span><i>is</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> there; the shadow is what the pieces are about. In much the same way that a bee dances to communicate with its mates, these shadows dance on the wall and represent the delicate yet strong connections that we human beings create with each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">When I’m not making art in my studio, I design science textbooks and content for a publisher. This involves reading material and reviewing imagery and photography that will help teach the science. So, my initial thoughts when invited to this show were of pollen and pollinators, pistils and stamens, and types of pollination: self-pollination, cross-pollination, wind and water pollination.<o:p></o:p></div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;">But that’s not what struck a chord for me in creating these pieces because my work doesn’t depend upon imagery. My paintings are about surface, a sense of time, memory – and recently more about the contrast between gesture and controlled mark making. A twist in my work is that over the past couple of years I have been moving between making paintings and creating more dimensional work in the form of the box that represents similar qualities. The box has a more powerful physical presence because of its dimensionality. I think of it as occupying the area between painting and sculpture. I view this as a cross pollination of my ideas and the medium of encaustic.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> </span> <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Last year I found a few stray dominoes in my studio and made the little <i>Dominotrix</i><span style="font-style: normal;"> piece. This gave me the idea of representing pollination metaphorically by matching dots on paired dominoes in the same way that pollinators and pollinated flowers are matched. I soon realized, however, that this was too simplistic, both visually and metaphorically; I needed something that looked more dynamic and perhaps had another layer of metaphor<span style="color: #141413;"> – </span>pollination could represent human interaction or even sex. So in </span><i>Sweet As Honey</i><span style="font-style: normal;">, the dominoes are paired dot for dot but with a few turns and zigzags, both to mimic the flight of bees and to reflect the fact that nothing in relationships ever runs that smoothly. In </span><i>Dark Companion</i><span style="font-style: normal;">, the dominoes are predominantly matched side by side instead of head-on and are formed into shapes that might represent hives. The darkness of the piece alludes to the emptiness of hives destroyed by disease and predators and to human societies destroyed by all the ills of civilization.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="punctuation-wrap: simple; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: .5in;">I have always had a fascination for water and bodies of water. I believe that they contain the primordial ooze that helped foster evolution. When I discovered the role that water plays in pollination, I came to respect it even more. Considering abiotic pollination, which is pollination without the aid of another organism, 98 % is carried out by wind, and only 2% by water. Thus, in my assumption, conditions have to be just right in order for all of the constituents to amalgamate, and in a sense, give birth: a miracle. Thus these paintings, the <i>By Water<b> </b></i>Series, are an abstract approach to portraying the variety of implications of water found in earth’s many forces of nature.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">In dream analysis, bees can represent the industrious activities, communication, and conscientious choices in which we humans are involved. The act of pollination serves as a metaphor for how and what we choose to communicate, as well as the cultivating of ideas and thoughts. Our motives for communication and our reactions to it can be questioned. As we deliver our pollen, do we spread the love, promote peace and happiness, awaken our inner senses, or react with gut emotion? The elaborate pollination dance can be equated to the varied forms of social networking, so prevalent in today’s society. Are we communicating effectively and kindly, or are we enveloped in gossip, anger, and unkind motives, as we carry our pollen from flower to flower? </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">The driving forces and motives behind our communication can be represented and defined by the various colors of flowers and their parts. Red is the color of passion and emotion; it evokes a visceral response. Orange is the color of warmth, growth, and expansion; it provides a fertile ground for development. Yellow symbolizes clarity, truth and intellect deep within; it can awaken the soul. Green can prompt us to nurture others and ourselves, with its significance of love, healing, and growth. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Upon arising from these dreams, we may question where and how we exchange our thoughts and ideas. In my series <i>Forces, </i><span style="font-style: normal;">I incorporate these philosophies to influence my imagery.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Pollen connects with an ovule and makes a seed. A ray of sun caught by a leaf is transformed into nectar which the bees make into the honey that fuels the production of beeswax flakes they excrete from their abdomens.

Canaries in the coal mine of the pollinator world, honeybees are struggling. It's been a tough year. Our brood chambers are riddled with gaps known as shotgun brood, a symptom that occurs when house bees remove sick larvae from the nest. The problem is widespread and beekeepers have noted a correlation between its emergence and the appearance of a fungicide in pollen samples taken from bees coming off almond fields in California. We have many questions. Science has been slow to answer. The political issues related to honeybee mortality seem intractable. Yet the bees, their lives rich with metaphor and poetry, continue to inspire.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="FreeForm" style="tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Perhaps in art there are answers.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="FreeForm" style="tab-stops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 81.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">For many years, canaries were used in coalmines as a warning system to determine if the air was breathable. This was to help insure the safety of the miners. Today the honeybee is our canary. The onset of Colony Collapse Disorder several years ago brought awareness of the honeybee’s plight, as well as the condition of our agricultural system and environment, to the forefront of most people’s minds. Visit any local farmers’ market today and you will hear conversations between concerned citizens about our world. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 81.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">Colony Collapse Disorder is a condition that was brought about by the vast changes in our agricultural system in the past fifty years, along with globalization of our world food supply. It’s just not as simple as it used to be. We have over seven billion people in the world to feed and we are reacting to this need in the wrong way. Pesticides and herbicides have wreaked havoc on our land. Add in a completely new set of pests and diseases that are assaulting the bees, and it is the perfect storm. The bees are trying to tell us to WAKE UP. We need to change the way we do things. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 81.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">Most people are not aware of the pollination efforts that are required for about 25 percent of our crops. There are beekeepers who manage upwards of 20,000 or more hives to pollinate these crops. This is a complex and dangerous situation for the bees. There was a study done last year based on 500 hives throughout the country that sampled everything in the hives including wax, honey, bees, pollen and larvae. This study found 117 pesticides at sub-toxic levels. That number is astounding and the impact of these pesticides on the bees is not yet fully understood, but it can only spell disaster. If you read Rachel Carson’s <i>Silent Spring</i><span style="font-style: normal;">, you will understand what the devastating impact of pesticides truly means.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 81.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">All of this sounds full of doom and gloom, but if you visit farmers’ markets and listen to people, you will hear that they care about this. They want to help change these conditions. There are more and more farmers’ markets popping up all over the country. The increase in the number of Community Supported Agricultural (CSA) farms is astonishing. Everyone wants to buy local, fresh and organic. And it’s not just vegetables<span style="color: #141413;"> – </span>it’s everything<span style="color: #141413;"> – </span>eggs, meat, cheese, and poultry. More and more people are growing their own vegetables, raising chickens and keeping honeybees. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 81.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">When I became a beekeeper, there were 18 people in my bee school class. I am now the bee school instructor, and we had over 100 people in bee school last year. In the movie, <i>Vanishing of the Bees</i><span style="font-style: normal;">, David Hackenberg makes a statement that basically says, “One man with 60,000 hives can’t make a difference, but 60,000 beekeepers with one hive each can.” So the hope is that each beekeeper can help change the world, one neighbor at a time, one yard at a time, one community at a time. The most important thing is that you have a choice. You CAN make a difference. Stop using pesticides and herbicides on your lawn, support your local farmers by buying direct, or join a CSA. Make a better choice for yourself, your family, your community and the world as a whole. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1667841316">Pollination</a></b><a href="http://www.artgw.com/mail/brush_mail.html">-Beyond The Garden</a> is a fusion of art and science. The act of <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination">pollination</a></i>, which is vital to our survival, can have so many interpretations. Each artist will define pollination with his or her unique vision, be it emotional, spiritual, metaphorical, scientific, or maybe poetic. To further understand the importance and environmental impact bees and pollination have on the earth and its inhabitants, there will be a screening of <a href="http://www.sisterbee.com/">"Sister Bee"</a> a documentary by Laura Tyler, as well as a talk by Tony Lulek of the <a href="http://norfolkbees.org/index.php/about">Norfolk County Beekeepers Association</a>. I am honored and privileged to have these passionate artists and speakers be part of this event. This exhibition is generously funded by a grant from the Lowell Cultural Council, a part of the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Following are the media ads and press release. A catalogue of the exhibition will be available in the late fall for purchase.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Milisa is one of eleven artists I have selected to participate in "Pollination-beyond the garden." This is a show I am curating for the fall of 2011 at the Brush Gallery in Lowell, MA (look forward to hearing more about this show.) After our studio visit, Milisa took me to her exhibition "Tactile Expressions" at the Krause Gallery of the Moses Brown School, in Providence. She is one of three artists in the show, which ends April 22 with a closing reception on the 21st. Misa, as we fondly call her, works in encaustic with textile impressions and embellishments. The work is deeply layered and highly textured. I am especially drawn to the fossilized-looking texture. It evokes a sense of ancient history and tarnish, especially in the monochromatic palette she uses. I find the delicate textiles, impressed and built up in the wax, create gestural and minimalist imagery and have a lyrical quality. There is a force of movement that draws you in and leads you through the gallery. Here are some installation photos of her work. Thank you Misa for a great day!</span></div><div><br />
