SUMMARY:Overheard in the Orchard - Ellen Harasimowicz\, Linda Hoffman and Ariel Matisse
DESCRIPTION:“I am an apple tree. I come from a long line of apple trees reaching back eons.” \nAnd so begins Linda Hoffman and Ellen Harasimowicz’s collaborative artist book\, Overheard in the Orchard\, a series of conversations between one Golden Delicious tree and their orchardist written by Hoffman with orchard photographs by Harasimowicz. The exhibit at Fivesparks invites visitors into the orchard at Old Frog Pond Farm in Harvard—not only as the home of apple trees\, but also as a place of birds\, insects\, history\, longing\, and mystery. Joining Hoffman and Harasimowicz is Hoffman’s daughter\, Ariel Matisse\, who grew up working in the orchard where this very tree still bears a bountiful crop every year. The exhibit brings together Harasimowicz’s silver-toned and color photographs\, Hoffman’s sculptures and watercolors\, and Matisse’s prints and wire sculptures – a multimedia visual feast\, alive with textures\, shadows\, shapes\, and forms. \nOn view October 4\, 2025 – November 15\, 2025. \nReception\, open to all\, Sunday\, October 12\, 2025\, 3:00-5:00pm. \nExhibit closing event on Saturday\, November 15\, 2025\, 4:00pm. Book reading by Hoffman and thoughts shared from both Hoffman and Harasimowicz about the collaborative process that resulted in the book Overheard in the Orchard. \nBooks can be purchased at Fivesparks during the exhibit.
