In the Gallery
The works of Ken Cleaves of Lincolnville will be shown from Aug. 5th through Aug. 26th at the gallery. A reception will be held from 5:30 – 7:00 pm on Aug.12th and the artist will be available to chat about his work.
Cleaves recent work is primarily in wood; cedar shingles specifically. “I might start out with a shape thinking it will be one thing: a bird, a tree, or a shell,and the shape will take on a life of its own and show me what it was really meant to be.”
Also in this lifetime retrospective will be older works in different media. Carvings in bone, weavings, painted floor cloths and oil paintings will all be included.
The highlight of the show will be a gallery room devoted to Ken’s Magnum Opus: his garden, Shleppinghurst. On display will be a DVD of the garden plus numerous photos of different aspects of this tranquil, Japanese inspired, 7 acre garden.
The gallery is open when there are performances or other functions scheduled or anytime by appointment. Call 568-3147 or 948-7469 for more information.
