Based on the unmistakable horn-shape of a large ship’s cowl vent, Portal Pairing produces an impression of performance, simultaneously calling-out and listening. Communication — the flow of ideas and materials — is the basis of all infrastructure; this sculpture reveals the hidden pathways of our material/resource transmissions. Meet the Artist Geoff lives and works in Cambridge, MA and holds the position of Instructional Ceramics Tech in the Ceramics Program at Harvard University. He is also the current artist in residence at the Parker Lab for Bioengineering at Harvard.

My painting and printmaking background, coupled with developing over 25 different studio courses during my college teaching career, allows me to reach for an array of media and materials, both traditional and experimental, that best suits the spirit of the emerging work. This painting entitled “Escape” includes charcoal, water-based paints and inks, and pastel. Whether responding to the complexities of our natural world, or those inside ourselves and others, all is stored and cultivated in my artist’s heart long enough to emerge as time compressions and pure outpourings of my creative sensibilities. The essential component of my process is to remain open, honest, and vulnerable while staying alert and responsive to the evolving formal and emotional aspects of the work. Marks and strokes make their way out and into my work in the most honest creative moment I can make possible while keeping my balance over the edge of knowing and not knowing. That balancing requires both discipline and risk-taking and is fueled by the energy and excitement of the process itself. Meet the Artist Barbara Burgess Maier exhibits her work and is in private collections in this country and abroad. Her undergraduate work both at Endicott College and Skidmore college allowed her to explore a range of media from clay to steel, oil to water based media, woodcuts, etching, lithography to monotype. This creative toolbox informs her work and her working process. Always able to choose the medium and material that aligns with the image-making she pursues. Her visual background and teaching priority includes the ability to draw representationally from life and curiosity about varied and unfamiliar things, believing that visual discipline allows one the freedom to work abstractly by choice, not necessity, and that openness to new ideas, disciplines, and cultures enriches one’s sensibilities. Her art offers a compression of time, able to be revealed by the viewer through their own visual journey with the work. Rather than trapping a particular scene or subject in time, she seeks to set it free. Not unlike a poet as they fit words together in revelatory or explosive ways, she seeks to fit her marks, strokes, shapes, values, and colors in similar ways but whose meanings transcend specific definition.

These eco-friendly works are layers of horizons, clouds, and soft sea storms. Meet the Artist Growing up in New England, Wendy began her studies at Danforth Museum of Art and continued creating artwork throughout her undergraduate career at Roger Williams University (BFA Art, Psychology and American Studies). She has been drawn to color theory and experimenting with different techniques, ranging from watercolor, charcoal, pastel, acrylics, to photography. Her popular monochromatic pieces are uniquely textured, giving them a landscape effect. Wendy’s inspiration comes from the places she has been and how the landscape has affected her; coastal living with industrial concrete intertwined. Her work reflects a roughness and a hidden metallic quality among the calming sea. The jagged east coast and its horizons have been imprinted in her mind and are ever changing with each journey.

I walk the edge between working in sculpture and other media to explore visual and physical boundaries that diverse materials can present. Pattern, structure and the perception of space as it relates to the timeline of life unite my creations. My artwork records that space or moment in time while also containing the movement of energy residing there both human and elemental. Water currents and water lines, patterns of flocking birds called murmurations, and geological formations collect and disperse on my worked surfaces. The structure and patterns of domesticity, family, and history disperse as stacked forms in metal or hundreds of rocks cast in pulp as an homage to honor women. Inspired by the natural world, time, and a desire to interconnect the spiritual, physical and intellectual my work is a distillation of both personal and collective experience. Meet the Artist Radochia studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts and Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York. Her pronounced athleticism, creativity, and ability to design, draw, and build propelled her into sculpture. She’s developed and combined her interests in sculpture with photography, drawing, architecture, numerics and science. She has been working in New England for over twenty years with working projects abroad in France, Italy, and the Netherlands. Most recently she returned from the American Academy in Rome, Italy.

It starts out soft and malleable but through exposure to high heat it becomes hard as stone. In this piece I deconstructed the human form in an attempt to capture a gesture with a shape that reads "figurative" without being too literal. My hope was to create an interesting silhouette that would lead the viewer to take a closer look.   Meet the Artist Bruce Armitage works out of the Harvard University Ceramics Studio, Boston MA. His work has been featured in exhibitions at Harvard University's Semitic Museum, the Durant-Kenrick Museum, Gallery 224 and the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society. Examples of his work can be viewed in permanent collections held by the Somerville Hospital, Somerville, MA and the AC Marriott Hotel Boston Downtown. https://www.achotelinkblockart.com/moodboard-jasper daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461605452797-QA7MI71TS32XTRI3GVOU/Untitled-1.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461619355997-ZAV09MWPDQNH86LHF90N/untitled.jpeg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461620489237-QAQ6U7KEO5III0AYUIFS/get-real.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461618928008-H5L4OM00O8XDG5SFFWXY/7.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1461618408530-Y4QZHI2APVIJMRFUG8Q7/crop.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464031021138-YBETCAKP0EZE4GN5QP20/pareidolia.jpg Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464033164561-OWERNGEYR0AKBOTZVETB/Untitled-2.png Moodboard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56f96a558a65e2431339cdaf/1464033301507-TSX1XY70Q79O991CW3GM/Screen+Shot+2015-03-09+at+4.21.13+PM.png Moodboard https://www.achotelinkblockart.com/website-coming-soon daily 0.75 2018-03-01 https://www.achotelinkblockart.com/about daily 0.75 2018-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a82f5c480bd5e94340141f2/1521042464434-HXV7X394SDX32DLBL0VF/DSC01903JC.jpg About https://www.achotelinkblockart.com/underground daily 0.75 2018-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a82f5c480bd5e94340141f2/1522440301482-G3WG0T0R27HP9OLN5V05/Underground+Ink+Block.jpg Underground
