Timothy Horn EDGEWATER GALLERY AT THE FALLS, MIDDLEBURY
A
sked what strikes them most about Timothy Horn’s work, many collectors will tell you it’s the light. And it is the light — a swath warming the side of an old barn, or playful dapples on the body of a vintage truck — that’s what he’s after, and why his practice of painting en plein air has been so successful.
Horn, who will be featured in a solo exhibition titled “Here and There” this 4GXSFIV EX *HKI[EXIV ,EPPIV] EX XLI +EPPW SJXIR ǻRHW MRWTMVEXMSR RIEV LMW WYRR] Northern California home, in the rural areas of Marin and Sonoma Counties. Mundane small-town life, farmland and surrounding structures resonate with viewers and evoke a sense of nostalgia. A vintage truck, the roof of a farmhouse, an airstream trailer are all vehicles for light play and story. Horn says that when he took up painting in 1998, it was two years before he came inside to paint in a studio, and now, he’s certain that formative experience has made him a better painter. Ƹ.ƶQ VIEPP] KPEH . KSX Q] WXEVX TEMRXMRK SYXHSSVW . XLMRO MXƶW QYGL QSVI HMǽGYPX XS transition from indoor to painting outdoors. Painting from life allows you to see more color in a scene with realistic value gradations. Once you’ve had a lot of experience painting from life, it makes it possible to paint from photos in a more realistic way. Though most of my work is done in the studio now, I continue to paint outside whenever possible, even if it’s just in my backyard. It’s a really MQTSVXERX XLMRK XS HS IZIR MJ MXƶW HMǽGYPX 8LIVI EVI XLMRKW XLEX LETTIR MR E plein air painting, that I could never do in the studio, and things I can do in the studio that would be nearly impossible to do outside.” Horn is fortunate to be a full-time painter, participating in plein air events and teaching workshops around the country to a devoted following. Growing up EQSRK XLI GSVRǻIPHW SJ VYVEP 4LMS WYVVSYRHMRKW RSX XLEX HMǺIVIRX JVSQ XLI places he seeks now, his interest and abilities were strongly encouraged by his artistic and creative family. “Most of our gifts to family and friends were homemade things — that’s just the way it was in our house. . . I still make my own cards. I don’t know if I’ve ever purchased a birthday or Valentine’s Day card.” Horn pursued training in the visual arts at the prestigious Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City, where he earned a degree in graphic design. He loved art school, which he says was “all creative, all the time.” Following his graduation in 1984, he worked for over a decade in CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

WHO'S BEHIND THE NEW LOCAL LITERARY MAG?
“MORE THAN A SHOWCASE FOR LOCAL ARTISTS, IT’S A CORNERSTONE FOR BUILDING AN ARTISTIC COMMUNITY.�
ZIG ZAG LIT MAG PUBLISHES FIRST ISSUE AND CELEBRATES
“It all started around one women Ć´ 2MGLIPPI E XIVVMÇťG TSIX Ć´ [LS was so embarrassed she wouldn’t publish her work,â€? explained the magazine’s founder and editor-inchief Alex Jay Dubberly, he goes by Jay. “She’s been writing one poem a day for 30 years, and never published.

publish their work.â€? Dubberly, an MFA graduate of ,SHHEVH (SPPIKI MR 5PEMRÇťIPH moved to Vergennes two years ago. Like any 28-year-old with a screenwriting degree, Dubberly is piecing several gigs together. He’s had a few poems and a novella published, waits tables at Mary’s Restaurant in Bristol, teaches at CCV in Rutland, and, of course, has a 600-page TV show. When he moved to the Little City, Dubberly found himself in Librarian Muir Harman’s writing workshop at Bixby Library, not really as a student, but more to see how he himself could start a writing class. Which he did; now Dubberly works mainly with long-form writers at the library, while Harman teaches intro and short-form workshops. Harman has a lot going on at the library, and couldn’t take on the publishing role 100 percent. “I rely on passionate community members to help,â€? he said. Take Little City editor Keith Morrill, plus a few key members of the Bixby’s writing workshops and a sprinkle of friends, and you get the editing review board of Zig Zag Lit Mag: Jay Dubberly, Patrick Willwerth, Maddy Willwerth (yup, husband and wife), Keith Morrill, Muir Harman, Chloe Marchand and 3MRE ,VMÇ˝R +YR JEGX &PP SJ XLIQ PMZI MR :IVKIRRIW I\GITX ,VMÇ˝R (she’s from Ferrisburgh) and, yes, they get together for potlucks, basketball and game night.
togetherâ€? said Maddy Willwerth, who volunteered to do all the graphic design and layout for the magazine. “Jay and I had pretty concrete ideas of what we wanted it to be,â€? Harman added. “We envisioned an extension of the process that we’d gone through with the workshops and other similar programs at the library; where we build and strengthen the writing community in Vergennes and the area through expression. We want to have a more open, public space to share people's writing that they’ve been working on and hiding away. We want to create the place where they could share those things and connect and maybe surprise their neighbors.â€? In total there were 104 submissions JVSQ HMÇşIVIRX TISTPI 4J XLEX 23 pieces by 19 people were published. The seven review board members removed the names (because they knew a lot of the submitters) and did their best to judge based on merit alone. Dubberly says about 85 percent of the submissions were poems. 4RP] RMRI [IVI ZMWYEP EVX 8LI visual side of the magazine is an area Dubberly would like to see grow, and he encourages artists of all sorts to submit for the spring publication — entries accepted Dec. 1, 2016-Jan 31, 2017. “Read Local.

Tom Hanks in Sully (2016).
Because Sully is so calm, so professional, his inner reactions to the accusations are contained, but it is one of Tom Hanks’ gifts that he can show us what Sully feels with a nearly invisible change of expression. Just as Tom Hanks is lucky to have this role, Captain Sullenberger is lucky to have this actor tell the public who he really is. One very decent man shows us the inherent decency of another. Hanks is helped immeasurably by Aaron Eckhart who plays Sully’s copilot with exactly the strength and sharp support the embattled pilot needed. All the supporting cast members deliver. Watch Anna Gunn as an NTSB interrogator.

the book IVORY VIKINGS: THE MYSTERY OF THE MOST FAMOUS CHESSMEN IN THE WORLD AND THE WOMAN WHO MADE THEM — BY NANCY MARIE BROWN In the early 1800s, on a Hebridean beach in Scotland, the sea exposed an ancient treasure cache: 92 chessmen carved from walrus ivory. Norse netsuke, each face individual, each full of quirks, the Lewis chessmen are possibly the most famous chess pieces in the world. Housed at the British Museum and the National Museum of Scotland, with six now on permanent loan in the Isle of Lewis, they are among each museum’s most visited and beloved objects. Ivory Vikings, recently released in paperback, explores the mystery of the Lewis chessmen by connecting medieval Icelandic sagas with modern archeology, art history, forensics, and the history of board games. Nancy Marie Brown’s book explains the economic lure behind the Viking voyages to the west in the 800s and 900s, and it brings to light an extraordinarily talented woman artist of the twelfth century: Margret the Adroit of Iceland.
