Sandra Huck, of Caribou, Maine, returns to Local Color Gallery as a guest artist from September 24 through October 20. She will be at the Gallery for Belfast’s Fourth Friday Art Walk on September 27 from 4 to 7 pm. Huck will give a short presentation about her work at 5:30 pm.
Huck creates with found objects, used just as they were collected. She finds challenge in bringing disparate items together in a way that showcases their individuality as well as creating a harmonious whole. Her goal is to amplify the characteristics that spoke to her and caused her to pick up that particular piece of wood, stone, or rusted metal. When placed on a framed piece of canvas, these seemingly mundane objects are elevated to works of art and are given new voice. The rusted washer has become more, the weathered wood or fallen feather are altered through interaction with other materials. “Texture, balance, and harmony are important targets for me in my work,” says the artist.
Huck studied art at the University of Maine at Presque Isle and advanced sculpture at Teachers College in New York City. She has participated in group shows and solo exhibits, and her work is held in several private collections.
Also at the Fourth Friday Art Walk, gallery member mf morison will present a new group of fishing lure prints. Each print contains the hand-tied feather streamer which inspired the copper plate etchings. Many of these lures were invented and used by two of Maine’s women of note, Carrie Stevens and Cornelia Crosby. “Fly Rod” Crosby was also Maine’s first registered guide.
Morison will be accompanied by fly-tier Cade Nickels, from Searsmont, who will demonstrate his art and answer questions. Nickels is a long-time fisherman and fly-tier, and a strong advocate for conserving Maine’s pristine waterways.
Local Color Gallery is located at 135 High Street in Belfast. For more information see www.localcolorgallerymaine.org, or call 207-218-1249.
