FLYING HORSE OUTDOOR SCULPTURE EXHIBIT

AT PINGREE SCHOOL

2016

MESSAGE FROM

TIM JOHNSON, HEAD OF SCHOOL:

Welcome to the 2016 Flying Horse Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit! Each year, our exhibit expands to include more established and emerging regional artists and their work. This year, you will see more than 50 works by 39 artists; 16 of the artists are new to the exhibition.

As an educator and artist, I believe that schools have a fundamental obligation to provide the fuel that will ignite the mind, spark the imagination, and illuminate the total being. The arts serve this mission at Pingree, providing meaning to life in all its mystery, complexity, delight, and wonder.

We believe in sharing this vision with the greater North Shore community, and this show is one of the many shining examples of how Pingree is redefining the public purpose of independent schools.

Thank you to our esteemed honorary chairs, David and Barbara Broudo, and to our visionary Flying Horse curator, Judith Klein.

Enjoy the show!

Tim Johnson

MESSAGE FROM

OUR HONORARY CHAIRS: J. DAVID AND BARBARA BROUDO

My wife and I are pleased to have been given the opportunity to be Honorary Chairs for the seventh annual Pingree Flying Horse Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit, and that Pingree, with this exhibit, supports the Arts. Oscar Wilde said, “the secret of life is in art.” The art of every civilization is its most important contribution to history. The religious ideas, the system of government, the scientific ideas of ancient civilizations are no longer accepted but their art is still a permanent source of pleasure. Artists’ names have survived kings, Popes and governors. Books can’t make Egypt, Greece, Persia, Rome alive as do carved stones, fragments of pottery, or frescoed walls.

Art is pure democracy in action. We are interested in what a person or culture produces, not what color, religion or race he or she is. We admire African art, the Catholic art of El Greco, the Protestant art of Durer, the endless brilliant Jewish artists, the Mexicans and Spaniards, Chinese and Japanese, Poles and Russians.

What you can do, not what you are, is the lesson for the world.

J. David Broudo

TAYLOR APOSTOL Born in Washington, DC, Taylor Apostol spent her formative years living in Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and the suburbs of Philadelphia. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art from the University of Vermont and MFA from Boston University. Taylor creates sculptures in stone, wood, plaster, and steel that range in scale from small and intimate to large and confrontational. She currently lives and works in the Boston area.

“In my work, I explore notions of memory and physical presence. I am interested in how memories of the body and surrounding environment are captured, altered, and subsequently changed over time. Through my sculptures, I translate the collected and altered memories into physical objects that have a likeness to the human body.”

ROBERT BLISSRobert Bliss, a self-taught sculptor, began his love of art in childhood. He was inducted into the Rockport Art Association in 1991 as an artist member and has taught sculpture at RAA. He earned an artist membership at the North Shore Arts Association in 1993. His most recent award was the Ivan N. Kamalic Memorial Award for his Bearskin Neck Bear. As a member of the Rockport Art Association, he has won several awards. He was awarded the Martha Moore Memorial Award for his sculpture entitled “Nintendo,” a study of his son playing the game on his computer. He also received the Richard Recchia Memorial Award for excellence in sculpture for a piece entitled “Sunning,” the piece on display in this exhibit, Great Blue Heron, Ready to Strike, received the Jean Tamburine Memorial Award for excellence in sculpture. His bronze Gorilla is on permanent display at the Franklin Park Zoo, Boston, MA.

Robert also makes decorative tiles inspired by the ocean and its shore. He sculpts the original work in clay, makes a mold and hand presses the tiles. After the bisque firing, he and his wife, Karen, glaze the tiles and then they are fired a second time which brings out the ocean-inspired signature color.

JEFFREY BRIGGS Partnering with a carousel frame company and a fine art painter, Jeff Briggs designed and sculpted an entirely new, custom carousel for the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. Instead of the traditional horses, this carousel features rideable lobsters, cod fish, a harbor seal, and a host of other creatures from the land, sea, and air that can be seen on or around the Boston Greenway. The carousel opened to the public in August 2013 and has been a major attraction ever since.

Previously, Jeff designed carousels currently operating in Singapore, Finland, Saudi Arabia, and throughout the US. He is also known for his sculpted wall reliefs which explore man’s complex relationship to animals. His work has been featured in numerous national publications and books.

J. DAVID BROUDO J. David Broudo, born in Baltimore in 1920, earned a Bachelor’s degree in Ceramics/Industrial Design from Alfred University in 1946 and a Master’s degree in Art Education from Boston University in 1950. For his senior thesis at Alfred, he developed a method of creating red glazes, similar to that of the great Chinese potters, so that the color subtly shifts on the surface of pots.

Although he was trained to make dinnerware prototypes for ceramics factories, David took a different route and taught at Endicott College from 1946 until his retirement in 1997 where he chaired the Art Department. Under his leadership, the art department grew to be the largest on campus.

David’s ceramic work has received international notice. A stoneware bowl is on permanent display at The International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy. He was one of 50 artists representing the U.S. at an international exhibition in Belgium when the U.S. won the grand prize. In addition, there have been hundreds of exhibits of David’s work, where he has often won top honors. His work is in private collections throughout the United States, Europe, Africa, and Japan.

LARRY ELARDO Larry Elardo jumped back into making ceramics 10+ years ago after a 30+ year hiatus. “My work is mostly hand built and fellow potters refer to me as ‘the texture guy.’ I love the infinite possibilities of clay. The functional and sculptural clay objects I build investigate the integration of form and surface. I’m always on the lookout for man-made objects that will help me create visually exciting surfaces.”

The clay that Larry uses has a high iron content and remains unglazed, presenting a warm brown surface. The embedded colors are under glazes, a mixture of slip and pigment. His pieces are safe to remain outside during New England winters.

KEVIN DUFFY Kevin Duffy of Arlington, MA is a stone sculptor who works primarily in granite. He works also as a monument conservator, in many locations throughout New England. Kevin studied at Montserrat College of Art and The Art Students League, and is a graduate of the Art Academy in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

“Working in stone both presents many challenges and offers many rewards. Removing material in both large and small amounts until what already exists within the stone becomes visible is a process that never ceases to fascinate me. The final result, whether it be well developed in advance, or simply allowed to occur during the removal process, breathes new life into an object already in existence, many millions of years. The durability of the material allows my work to be displayed both in an interior, as well as, outdoor setting.”

SHAWN FARRELL Shawn Farrell, an artist and educator living in Hamilton, MA, received a BFA from Hartwick College where he specialized in glassblowing and bronze foundry. He honed his techniques on the West Coast working for various artists from Alaska to Mexico. He has displayed his work in various galleries and does many private commissions. Shawn prefers not to limit himself to any one medium, but finds himself continually drawn to working with glass and metal.

“When you are accustomed to seeing something in the same way day after day, you tend to forget the beauty that is held within it. Within my work, I like to take the observers to a place that they may have been before but have not seen in such a way. This allows viewers to experience new perspectives on their world and their place in it. It allows them to find the inherent beauty in all things.”

JOSEPH FERGUSON Joseph Ferguson, born in 1930, grew up on a dairy farm in Unadilla, NY, where he graduated from high school. He worked as a junior draftsman for the New York Central Railroad in New York City and attended Cooper Union night school, though that was interrupted by the Korean War. After the war, he attended Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland and received an Andrew Carnegie scholarship to study at the art centers of Europe. He settled in Boston in 1957 and worked at J.G. Reynolds Stained Glass before founding Ferguson Stained Glass in Weston, MA in 1970 where he still creates his works of art.

“I was schooled in the traditions of Modernism, influenced by British and American sculptors of the late ’50s, and chose stained glass as my medium. I like the intensity of its changing color with the interaction of light. Its challenge was to make it sculptural, free it from its architectural, cathedral setting. I wanted to realize landscape sculpture, like those of Henry Moore and Alexander Calder.”

“The contemporary world is inundated with throwaway goods designed for mass consumption and disposal. Yet, an appreciation for the unique and well-crafted object persists: we don’t want to be sold garbage that will break before its Styrofoam packaging degrades. While my work is influenced by the fine craftsmanship and precise design of modernist sculpture and decorative arts, these approaches are updated through the use of contemporary materials, tools, and methods.”

HILARY HARRISON Hilary Harrison studied sculpture at the Cleveland Institute of Art in Lacoste, France, the Carving Studio in Carrara, Italy, the Museum School in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Rhode Island School of Design. She creates artwork that integrates elements of glass, wood, stone and bronze. As a sculptor and stained glass artist, she works both independently and in collaboration with architects, engineers, and builders. Her recent work has focused on architectural glass and sculptural installations, including commissions for hospitals, universities, churches, and individual residences.

“The essential element of my work is glass. As a transparent and translucent material glass has an ethereal quality which transforms space by allowing light to pass through. The art of glass is true alchemy transforming light into spirit.”

THOMAS LINVILLE “My work is a mixture of abstract and figurative forms drawn from a sensory response to the essential qualities of natural sources ranging from the minute to the monumental, living or static. Inspiration might come from the close observation of the complex articulations of a seashell or the erosive effects on stone of wind and water. Through sculpture I integrate these responses to nature with formal artistic qualities such as form, balance, rhythm, symmetry, scale, and texture.

I use traditional materials such as bronze and stone. This is a deliberate choice. I find these materials best maintain a consistent connection between a natural source of artistic inspiration and its sculptural manifestation. As a sculptor, I strive to create forms using materials that possess a timeless integrity reflecting the immutable forces of nature.”

MITCHEL LUNIN Mitchel Lunin has always been fascinated by human form and function. His first piece of art was a female torso done his senior year of college while practicing for the carving portion of the Dental Boards. The next 35 years were spent successfully practicing dentistry in Greater Boston. After retiring in 2002, Lunin studied sculpture at the DeCordova Museum, West Concord Art Co-Operative, The Carving Studio, and the Beaumont Sculpture Center. A second prize award at the 2009 James King Bonnar Show of a reclining nude form encouraged him to continue creating sculpture. Most of his work is created in clay and cast in bronze. His work has been shown in galleries, shows, and homes in New England and New York. “I feel that sculpture gives me an opportunity to both express myself and celebrate the human form.”

MADELEINE LORD “My work is composed of carefully selected metal scrap and, like a crazy quilt, is the result of many iterations: choice, placement, join. Multiple small drawings, including pockets of air, create the final piece. The materials and process combine to provide a metaphor for taking a second look at what is determined useless, of no practical or esthetic value. I like to think each piece implies origin and destiny, context and story. Any moment it may have something to say.

It may be a coincidence but the Boston Ballet was announcing a new production of Swan Lake on the radio while I was looking through my garage pile of bits and pieces for inspiration. The curved cast bar at the core of Swan was a recent purchase from a flea market. Its destiny was clear. The dancer started with the legs and then the fan tutu; then a pile of galvanized crumpled hole punched scraps looked a lot like feathers. The last find was the chrome appliance handle that is the swan dancer’s beak.”

“For my saggar shard works, such as Fallen Tower of Babel, I build a piece and then fire it once. After cooling, the form is broken into several pieces, and each piece is decorated with stamps, copper wire, tape or string, and then packed into an individual saggar. A saggar is an enclosed clay container packed with combustible materials such as sawdust, salt marsh hay, or seaweed, which have been soaked in solutions of iron, cobalt, copper, or yellow ochre oxides. The saggars are then stacked and placed in the gas kiln to be fired. The fire and combustible material dance upon the clay and leave exciting random marks. Once cool, the pieces are reassembled and glued together, yielding each time a unique and beautiful melding of patterns, designs, textures, and colors.”

COLIN MOORE “In my current body of work, I explore the relationships between people and the world they live in. I tend to show the ongoing human experience with its embellishment and frailties—not perfect and less predictable. My sculptures have an ephemeral quality, experienced when moving around or through the work, which allows one to consider varying perspectives. Acknowledging the science behind vision, I communicate feelings with objects and space, aware that we perceive three-dimensional objects with a primitive part of the brain which creates a visceral and memorable experience. The intention of my work is to invite the viewer to be present and accept the moment with trust. Whether fabulous or futile, it is perfect just as it is.”

JENNY RANGAN Jenny Rangan fell in love with clay at the University of New Mexico where she got her BFA in 1990. She apprenticed with Avra Leodas, the owner of Santa Fe Clay, and built miraceous clay pit-fired pots with Felipe Ortega in La Madera, NM. Soon after college, she became a somatic therapist and hardly touched clay for many years, but always felt called back to that old connection. Finally, in 2009, she started taking classes at Cynthia Curtis Pottery in Rockport. Since then, Jenny co-founded and has twice co-curated the Cape Ann Ceramics Festival, a month of events for education and promotion of the ceramic arts. She also is a partner at Lexicon Gallery in Magnolia, MA, which features multimedia fine art. At Lexicon, Jenny curates special exhibits, organizes workshops, and displays her own work.

RAMANI RANGAN Ramani Rangan worked first in television and later in theater in London and Denmark, in lighting, scenery, and prop design before studying art at the Danish Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen. His work as a painter and multimedia artist reflects his attraction to the authentic indigenous spirit and imagery of the native people of New Mexico, Australia, Africa, and India. Ramani works individually and in collaboration with other artists.

“While living on the island of Samos, Greece, I first noticed driftwood while walking on the shore. I began to collect and paint it in the colors of the houses, churches, and traditional costumes around me. I called these ‘Story Sticks’. I later began to gather them in bunches like a chapter of a larger book. Likewise, each stick in Spiritwalker represents a chapter, gathered together to become a book of life, symbolizing the impulse to gather one’s story both linearly and spiritually.”

DALE ROGERS Dale Rogers, an award-winning metal sculptor, takes pleasure in creating work that inspires the public to think about the world differently. He has been working as a full time metal sculptor since 2003. He works with Cor-Ten and stainless steel; all of his work is originally designed, laser cut, TIG welded, and hand finished into large scale three-dimensional sculptures that combine his love for abstract geometrics with organic lines and a figurative appeal.

Dale’s work is in private collections in 49 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada, and in public spaces in more than 25 states. He believes that art should be accessible to the public, a part of our everyday surroundings. “It is important to add art to the landscape of public venues. Art triggers the imagination of its observers, encourages them to view the world differently, and stimulates conversation.”

GENE SHEEHAN Gene Sheehan wanted to try something different with his welding skills and wound up producing an eight-foot-long working cod fish weathervane in steel for his front lawn. Since then, he has created several small origami-like sculptures and larger creatures, also in steel, for homes and gardens around the North Shore. Much of the inspiration for his work comes from the natural beauty and wildlife that surround the home he shares with his wife and dogs on Rings Island.

“Below Above uses simple materials to convey a grand gesture. As one approaches the ordinary looking upside down bucket, they may notice a glimmer of light from its bottom on a sunny day. As they peer over, they will see down through the bucket to a mirror, reflecting their own gaze back up at them. The sky appears to be held deep below the ground in the bucket. This piece turns one’s above, below.”

JANICE CORKIN RUDOLF Janice Corkin Rudolf has studied sculpture since she was in the third grade, counting herself fortunate to have moved as a young child to a house across the street from the person who would become her first mentor, the sculptor “Maestro” Peter Abate. She went on to study art at Colorado Women’s College, Boston University College of Fine Arts, and Antioch University. Currently, Janice is working on several commissions, studying welding, and teaching students in her Sudbury Art Studios where she offers scholarships to those who lack financial resources to take her classes. She is also a volunteer art instructor for children at the Boys and Girls Club in Dorchester and for adults who have AIDS and HIV at Victory Programs’ Boston Living Center. Janice curates and judges art exhibits.

“To me, art is a language with its own vocabulary that can be learned by all. It is a means of expression portraying intimate feelings and moods, with passion and strength. Sculpture is what I mostly choose as my medium, modeling in clay and then moving to wax, then bronze, with the ancient process called ‘lost wax.’”

NANCY SANDER Nancy Sander began making soft sculpture puppets in the early 1970s, forming her own company, Roaring Duck Puppets, and performing and teaching workshops around New England. These days, Nancy is more focused on making large puppets that are used in performances by others. Nancy created a 30-foot dragon for a Theater Workshop production at Newbury Elementary School last spring and large props and puppets for Voices from the Heart chorus in Portsmouth, NH. This fall, she will debut a new abstract piece experimenting with graffiti painting on fabric at the Open Air Sculpture Show at Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, MA.

In the early 90s, Nancy returned to figurative sculpture using clay. The pieces displayed at Pingree developed from modeling sessions she attended at Sanctuary of Arts School in Eliot, ME.

“Lilith: Lilith was the much maligned first wife of Adam. She had a mind of her own and sought knowledge, much to his dismay. She wouldn’t behave so Adam got rid of her and had God make him another wife from one of Adam’s ribs. Her name was Eve and she did his bidding.

Tree Woman: In many cultures, it is believed that spirits inhabit trees. When making this piece, I imagined a woman transforming into a tree. Perhaps a woman tired of traveling or wandering who had decided this is the place to put down roots.”

MICHAEL UPDIKE Michael Updike grew up on the North Shore and graduated from Pingree School in 1977. After attending Lawrence University, he received his BFA from Mass College of Art and his MFA from Vermont College. Since 1991, Michael has been a designer for Mariposa, where he has created thousands of serveware pieces.

“I use slate with outward signs of wear. Paint, tar, nail holes, fractures, chips and flaking tell of the slate’s former utilitarian life. The scars of its history rest on its surface while I cut through the patina revealing fresher layers of stone. The contrasting ‘clean’ surface, in sunken relief, echos fossils freed from their Mesozoic entombment...Within this tension I play with illusion, pun and irony while unveiling the layer between two- and three-dimensional art.”

KARIN STANLEY Karin Stanley, a graduate of Radcliffe College (Harvard University) in Design and History, is a native Irish sculptor and garden designer living in New England. The spirit of her work in garden design and art is drawn from the landscape and garden elements of Ireland and Scotland. Karin’s art is inspired by the interplay of sun and shadow with the essential elements of stone, metal, water, fire, and wood. She is fascinated by the power and simplicity of Megalithic art and the archaeological elements one finds in Ireland and Scotland. In both her sculpture and garden design, Karin’s designs try to express the energy and spirit generated by ancient landmarks, particularly the symbolic hieroglyphs that evoke nostalgia and resonate with the organic elements that have existed for millennia.

Karin’s sculptures are in private collections in the US, Australia and Europe.

Also a certified garden designer, Karin leads garden tours to Scotland, Ireland, and sometimes Wales every other year.

ISAAC WITT Stone mason and emerging sculptor Isaac Witt has been hard at work developing his found object, folk art, organic style of sculpture over the last several years. He shares a workshop in Lynn, MA with his brothers Eli and Ian where they all utilize stone and wood to create unique artwork and furniture under the Witt Bro’s Works label.

“My goal with this sculpture was to highlight the natural beauty and strength of the Pelican by searching out the perfect variety of contrasting stones that best represented the varied vibrant colors and contrasting textures of this magnificent bird without much manual manipulation. To that end I incorporated black granite, Cape Anne granite, bluestone, Goshen stone; various beach stone, fossilized shells, moss and wood. These materials were largely sourced through many a long walk along the beaches or in the woods of the North Shore. I was very excited to witness the life and movement that each additional stone brought to the piece as the sculpture took shape.”
