Thursday July 6th Deborah Read welcomes July artist Tracy Hayes into Gallery RAG, located in Gloucester’s Rocky Neck Artist Colony. Hayes and Read will talk about wordless knowledge while surrounded by Read’s ‘Power Objects’ on this final day of her solo show. Hayes will begin installing her Obliteration Scrolls, with an informal artist talk and reception from 5-7pm to appreciate the reciprocity between Read’s Objects and Hayes’ Scrolls. We welcome all to this closing event as Read hands off the space to Hayes, in the spirit that all endings signal new beginnings …
Thursday July 13th from 5-7pm Tracy ad artist Jay Merrill will be talking about their respective practices and how they spent their day working on dock rubbings in the shipyard down the street. "Wood planks, as rooted in nature and then transformed, shaping, then arranged and secured in sequential functional order, have the potential to absorb and reflect both the the utilitarian functions of load-bearing, footpath and footprint and the ongoing exposure of the natural world. Site seems optimal to pick up on resonances to jay's ideas of connections and patterns within nature, and pathways that narrow the distance between the sentient and insentient.
Thursday July 20th 5-7pm visuaol artist guest Kelsy Patnaude will attend a collaborative installation with Tracy. Kelsy and Tracy will consider resonances within their works: shared interests in poetry, mark-making that appears as if linked to internal somatic rhythms and a material working preference of unstretched paper and canvas.
