SUMMARY:Free AIR Demo - Anne Swinton - Clay
DESCRIPTION:Come down to the Cove at Fivesparks to chat with clay artist Anne Swinton.  Watch her work magic with clay and fall in love with the end product of her handwork.  \nSaturday\, 2:00-4:00PM \nI’ve had an appreciation of clay since graduating college and taking wheel throwing classes. My artistic awakening\, however\, only started 6 years ago when I began hand-building. Since then\, I’ve grown as a creator and continue to learn more about the possibilities of this exciting medium. I am a slow ceramicist\, and I like it that way! Hand-building allows me to spend more time with each piece – gradually building it to its final form\, then refining with careful attention to the lines and textures.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Mardie Luppold - Archetypes: Making the Invisible\, Visible
DESCRIPTION:On view April 19 – May 24\, 2025.  \nArtist Reception Sunday\, April 27\, 4-6pm.  Free and open to the public\, live music and refreshments. \nMardie Luppold: Making the Invisible\, Visible               \nIf I say these images are archetypes\, viewers might be confused\, uncomfortable\, or unfamiliar.  If I say these images are shamanic\, folks might feel strange\, or even frightened.  If I say these images are Kachinas\, maybe people are able to come a little closer to them and will be able to access them easier\, linking them to Native American culture: Kachinas therein are “deified spirits”.  We all have them in us in the deep “roots of the mind\,” archaic images from the collective unconscious\, (thank you\, Carl Jung).  So\, if we call them archetypes\, it means the images are charged with psychic energy; they then becomes pieces of life because they are connected to the individual by the bridge of emotion and therefore become…living matter. \nThese are mine.  We all have them.  Creative folks simply keep the door open to the roots of the mind; going to the well to draw up an image\, a melody\, a dance\, a poem\, story\, garden\, building\, dinner…  Whatever it is\, it is charged with emotionality; sometimes beautiful\, sometimes comforting\, sometimes uncomfortable. \nAgain\, these are mine.  Each of us will have our own cluster of feelings\, characters\, sounds and words. If we call them shamanic\, then it simply means these creations are bridging the space\, the energy between spirit and daily reality. \nIn any case\, this is where these images come from\, and why I call it\, “Making  the Invisible\, Visible.” Some take a while to draw up from the depths of the well; some come more quickly and easily; some feel pleasant and some frightening.  They are a coalescence of Native American teachings; Jungian theory; Neolithic and Paleolithic excavations\, (Marija Giumbutas); which I have merged in each painting\, done in acrylic\, some with iridescence for emphasis.  They are\, in essence\, what came to me from the well. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Exhibiting Artist Talk with Mardie Luppold
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, April 30 at 2pm to hear exhibiting artist Mardie Luppold share the inspirations behind her collection on display in the Fivesparks Gallery – Archetypes: Making the Invisible\, Visible.   \nMardie will fascinate you in describing her progression of interests and in-depth studies of ancient cultures and belief systems that resulted in the creation of the ‘Kachina’ series.  References of Baba Yaga and deified spirits dating from neolithic and paleolithic times\, the study of work by Marija Giumbutas in excavating neolithic and paleolithic matrilineal societies\, and cultures similar to our own First Nations in North and South America as well as contemporary examples in Siberia and Central Asia.  The existence of Denisovan DNA in modern-day shamanistic peoples\, such as Tibetans\, Amazonian and Southeast Pacific peoples\, among others\, will be discussed.  \nFinally\, Jungian theory ties it all together with exploration of the ‘Collective Unconsciousness\,’  wherein lies the archetypes\, racial memory\, planetary and galactic memory\, and our connection to the Earth\, each other and all sentient life.  \nThis is a free event.

SUMMARY:4 Voices in Color
DESCRIPTION:4 Voices in Color\nSusan Aeschbach\, Cathie Brenner\, Margo Ezekiel and Judith Stein are Boston-based abstract artists. “4 Voices in Color” showcases their different views on both the natural world and the fantasy world. Each artist has a unique approach to creating abstracts incorporating a variety of materials and mediums. The exhibit includes mixed media works\, acrylic paintings\, oil paintings\, collage\, fiber arts\, and eco prints.  \nBonded by their shared passion for abstract work and a determination to deepen their own art practices\, Susan\, Cathie\, Margo and Judith have created a group with two other artists called the Black Sweater Artist Group. This group meets regularly to share ideas\, exchange resources/techniques\, encourage further experimentation in their work\, and exhibit collaboratively when possible.  \nSusan is a painter and mixed media artist from Newton\, MA.  She seeks to capture the aliveness that is inherent in all things animate and inanimate.  She paints intuitively\, particularly loves working with color and the inspiration for her abstract work often comes from nature and fantasy. \nCathie is a painter and collage artist from Brookline\, MA. Her mixed media paintings incorporate old scraps from family fabric\, found images\, writing\, sand and seaweed\,  and other plant life. She is inspired by textures\, color\, memory and meaning.  \nMargo is a contemporary collage artist from Newton\, MA. She prints her papers using a gelli-plate\, which allows her to create rich textures and patterns without a press. She works organically and  rarely starts with an idea; she looks to her very messy table for a spark of inspiration. \nJudith is a painter and mixed media artist from Needham\, Massachusetts. This exhibit showcases her exploration of gelli-plate and eco printing as well as collage. Inspired by nature and its intricate patterns and rich textures\, most of her work revolves around botanicals and nature-related themes.   \n4 Voices in Color is on view from Saturday May\, 31\, 2025 through Saturday July 12\, 2025.  The exhibit will end with a Closing Reception on July 12 from 2:00-4:00pm.  The artists will be at Fivesparks for 2 ‘Meet & Greet’ sessions:  \nJudith Stein & Susan Aeschbach on Friday\, June 13\, 2025\, and Margo Ezekiel and Cathie Brenner on Wednesday\, June 25\, 2025. Both days 2:00-4:00pm.
