Winslow Homer

The West Wind, 1891

oil on canvas 30x44 in.

It may not look so great here, but if you take a trip to the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA...it will be a different experience. I promise. This is one of those paintings that makes your chest swell inside a little bit.

Art DiMambro

Nadja recently reminded me that I have not posted the Lewis' grandfather's work! Arna's dad is a huge inspiration to me. His paintings burst with expression and a knowledge of color... Here are just a few that I could find online. The rest can be seen stockpiled in his basement in Durham, dressing the walls of their lakehouse in New Hampshire and doled out between his four daughters and their families.

Emily Smith is an award winning artist who creates sculpture and installation pieces. Influenced by childhood memories, nostalgic spaces are suggested through symbolic objects which represent a particularly subjective interaction with the memory of a significant person or place. Subtle overlaying of projections onto sculpture builds up a visual palimpsest and restructures the narrative of each object.

The artist's work is concerned with loss, memory and trace of an absence.Her current body of work stands as an investigation into Derrida's theory of trace, erasure and the instability of visual signifiers as symbols of memory.
