'Floating Filaments: Seaweed', a group exhibition opens at the Blue Hill Coop on May 1st and runs for the month. An artists reception will be at the Coop on May 4 at 3 pm. All are welcome.
The show is inspired by the seaweeds that are a little noticed but important component of our coastal shores but attract the eye of both artist and scientist. In addition to the Coop, the exhibit is sponsored by the Blue Hill Peninsula Rockweed Forum a voluntary organization promoting education about intertidal rockweed and conservation of rockweed which is a critical habitat for the sheltering and nurturing of hundreds of marine creatures including larval and juvenile stages of most of our commercial fish and shellfish species. It is the hope of the Rockweed Forum that this exhibit will draw attention to the intertidal habitat and the numerous seaweeds that are an integral part of our Maine coast.
Fifteen artists have contributed work to the show in a wide range of media (oil, watercolor, photography, collage, pressed seaweed, fiber art, cyanotypes, jewelry, etc). The featured artists are Krisanne Baker, Jordan Chalfant, Galen Davis, Pamela Elias, Kate Emlen, Lisa Tyson Ennis, Michele Gower, Christine Guinness, Jeannet Lendertse, Lyn Mayewski, Ron Miriello, Sarah Scamperle, Marcia Stremlau and Tanya Washburn.
