WELCOME FROM THE

HEAD OF PINGREE SCHOOL Welcome to the 17th annual Flying Horse Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit! Each year, we look forward to welcoming guests to our campus to experience the work of dozens of artists from New England and beyond. We are proud to host one of the largest outdoor sculpture exhibits in the region and one of the only exhibits of its kind hosted by a school in the country. Flying Horse reflects one of Pingree’s deepest convictions: The arts are essential to a child’s education and to the well-being of people of all ages. Sculpture invites us to slow down, look closely, wonder, question, and see familiar landscapes in new ways. It reminds us that imagination is not an escape from the world; it is one of the most powerful ways we learn to inhabit it more fully. The sculptor Henry Moore once said, “To be an artist is to believe in life.” That spirit lives at the heart of Flying Horse. Each work placed across our campus is an act of attention and possibility, a conversation between artist and material, form and field, viewer and place. Enjoy the show. Wander. Pause. Look again. Come back at different times of day, as the light shifts, the shadows lengthen, and the leaves begin to change color and gather on the grass. Bring family and friends. We will always be happy to see you. Warmly,

Dr. Timothy Johnson Head of School

WELCOME FROM

THE FLYING HORSE CURATOR It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 17th annual Flying Horse Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit. As I oversaw the installation of the sculptures this year (special thanks to the buildings and grounds staff), I was particularly impressed by the breadth of genres and materials, subjects and techniques. All engage the senses as well as the intellect, inviting us to view them not just with our eyes but with our hearts and minds. We will all have our favorites but, as always, I encourage you to return to look at your favorites and not so favorites at a different time of day or when you are in a different mood. See if your responses to the sculptures change. Viewing art in nature is different than experiencing art in a quiet, dark and often crowded gallery. At Flying Horse, the sky outside may be sunny and bright or cloudy and dreary; or the air may be filled with birdsong or the voices of boys and girls on the nearby playing fields. The area around any one piece will never be crowded so we can linger as long as we wish. Henry Moore also wrote, “Sculpture is an art of the open air. Daylight, sunlight, is necessary to it, and for me, its best setting and complement is nature.” So, again, welcome to Flying Horse. Enjoy your visit with the sculptures and nature!

THE HONORARY CHAIR “No way was clear, no light unbroken, in the forest. Into wind, water, sunlight, starlight, there always entered leaf and branch, bole and root, the shadowy, the complex.” –The Word For World Is Forest, Ursula K. Le Guin In the year of our 250th anniversary, we celebrate our nation, the longest continuous democracy and, for some, mourn a history checkered with colonialism, imperialism, and inequality. Yet there are few reflections on our tenancy of the land, and how the earth beneath us has fared in our keeping. Within a mere two and a half centuries, a blink of an eye in geological time, we have razed the great forests and polluted waters, building cities and towns deeper and deeper into what was once wild. Though partially manicured, Pingree’s campus is a rare green space which many elsewhere will never experience. It is in this setting that art emerges, placed in harmony with the land or purposefully discordant to draw attention to itself and underscore its verdant surroundings. There is a quality to being in nature akin to sensing thirst before your throat becomes too dry — it is a subtle feeling in the body towards which attention must be directed, lest it pass unnoticed. This year, while walking through the grounds, I invite you to spread your awareness to the earth beneath you, and the trees above. To notice the materiality of the works around you, many of which are made of materials like metal and stone and some of which speak directly on the natural world.

GOOD DOGGY Granite $3,000

“This sculpture of a relaxing happy dog was inspired by seeing a curled-up Labrador that was so peaceful and happy that I wanted to immortalize him! “My figurative work is aimed at evoking an emotional reaction to the viewer. I like to create figurative work that hits human emotion head on, whether introspective or direct interaction. My abstract work is mostly in stone and I seek to find pleasing forms that utilize the grain, color, and texture of the stone.” CONTACT: davidadilmansculpture.com | dhydro2@gmail.com | 781.249.8491

PAUL ANGIOLILLO Paul Angiolillo sculpts in wood, stone, other natural materials, metal, and some repurposed materials and objects. He makes both smaller indoor sculptures and larger outdoor pieces for grounds and gardens. Paul studied wood carving with Joseph Wheelwright (Boston) and stone carving with Peter Smith (Princeton, NJ). His work has been exhibited in galleries, museum gift shops, arts and crafts shows, outdoor sculpture exhibits, and other venues in New England and beyond. Paul lives and works in Weston, MA. “Over many years, I have experimented with different styles and mediums, yet gravitating toward semi-abstract, semi-organic forms created with natural materials. I like to express and celebrate the inherent warmth and engaging attraction of materials such as wood, other plant life, and stone. I both carve and assemble, and sometimes also incorporate reclaimed objects, often having in mind a sense of whimsy or social awareness.” CONTACT: paulangiolillo.com | pangiolillo@gmail.com | 617.924.1656

THOMAS BERGER Thomas Berger is a visual artist and naturalist based in Kittery, Maine. While growing up in the Moselle region of Germany, he developed a profound love of nature, science, and art. He obtained a degree in agriculture, worked on farms in Germany, France, and Australia, and was sent to Niger by the German Volunteers Service. He documented his many travel destinations in paintings and photography. After moving to the United States, he founded a landscaping business and refined his sculpting skills. His sculptures in stone and bronze can be found in art exhibits and public locations throughout New England, and in his sculpture garden at Green Art in Kittery. “My presentation of a decaying fish appears fossil-like in texture, but life-like in posture. It is a reminder of the fragility of life. “All life, each individual, will face the same fate: being decomposed and recycled into the minerals that are the building blocks of our planet. But the young fish still sheltered by the gone-by parent will continue the cycle of life, generation for generation. “The title also hints at another reality. Life in the ocean is threatened by our human impact through over-fishing, pollution from our chemicals, and climate change caused by our pollution of the atmosphere. Both the abundance and diversity of life are threatened. Our children are inheriting fishing grounds that are in decline. They inherit a planet with a dying Mother Nature. “However, there is hope that the new generation will correct our grave mistakes, and that loss of biodiversity on our planet can be stopped, and the cycle of life can be sustained for all species, including ourselves.” CONTACT: thomasbergersculpture.com | thomas@greenart.com | 207.752.7975

DONNA BERNSTEIN Donna Bernstein is a ceramic artist working out of her home studio in the Berkshires. She has been working with clay for more than 35 years. Her work includes both functional pottery for everyday use and large-scale garden sculptures, allowing her to move between utility and sculptural expression. “Clay is my passion — an endlessly fascinating medium that offers constant PORTAL opportunity for exploration. My mind is Ceramic always generating new ideas, and I am $12,500 continually drawn back to the potter’s wheel to bring them to life. I aim to create pieces that are tactile and expressive; reflecting a sustained dialogue between material, form, and imagination.” CONTACT: donnalynnbernstein@gmail.com | IG + FB: @theclaycottagema | 201.259.4111

JOE CHIRCHIRILLO Over the course of his career, Joe Chirchirillo has been concerned with creating work that is drawn from elements found in nature and the mechanical world. His goal is to build pieces that are expressive, interesting, and also have structural integrity and will withstand the elements. “I am very process oriented when it comes to my sculpture. For me, the way a sculpture is made is almost as important as the form created. I feel that this is an important point in a world that is dominated by so much of our information coming to us from a flat screen.” A resident of Vermont, Chirchirillo exhibits in group and solo shows throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states.

In my sculptures, I use recycled metal materials such as old bicycle or car parts, spoons, knives, forks, BACK HOME and other metal objects. These materials Recycled metal were once useful in daily life, but they were $11,000 forgotten or thrown away. I enjoy working with their shapes, textures, and history. By joining these pieces together, I give them a new purpose and a new meaning. “Sculpture is an important part of my artistic voice.

KEVIN DUFFY Kevin Duffy’s education and early career focused primarily on painting and illustration. Then, a number of years ago, he began working as a monument conservator. “This line of work rekindled a long dormant desire to carve stone. The process and challenges involved in shaping stone have been both very fulfilling and influential in my creative development. “I usually begin the process with drawings or a small scale model. As material is removed, I begin to excavate many unforeseen variables of form, volume, texture, and color. These powerful variables often help guide the development and outcome of my work.”

CHRIS FROEHLICH Chris Froehlich has been drawing, painting, and sculpting all of his life. He started working as a carpenter at 17 and has worked in the building business ever since. His sense of structure and craft has extended into his sculptural work. His sculptures and paintings have been exhibited in Connecticut, the Hudson Valley, Massachusetts, and Vermont. “My approach to my artwork comes from an intuitive relationship I’ve developed with wood over the last 40 years. My sculptures come from what was once a living entity. What’s left is the structure or the skeleton with its vibrational memories of its history, growth patterns, and invasions. “To me, trees are beings that are intrinsically tied ENTANGLEMENT and connected to the planet and us humans.

GINTS GRINBERGS Gints Grinbergs, trained as an architect, creates enchanting abstract and representational sculptures from discarded and repurposed pieces of various kinds of metal. “I began kayaking along the Charles River as an easy way of social distancing during that first spring of COVID. Minutes from my front door, I discovered an entirely different world — geese, swans, Snowy Egrets, muskrats, beavers, and even mink scampering along the riverbank. And the best part, not a human in sight! Every now and then a massive Great Blue Heron would glide across the sky like a modern day Pterodactyl! As water levels dropped in the summer, an unnatural world appeared as well — rebar, railroad spikes, pipes and plates, protruding from the water, especially near railroad or highway overpasses. The river had twisted and oxidized the metal leaving a “natural” texture, which I try not to alter — a found curve is better than a manufactured one! A series of waterfowl sculptures grew from these trips — sculpted from the very materials that contaminate their habitat! CONTACT: gintsgrinbergs.wordpress.com gagrinbergs@yahoo.com | 617.335.6899

I cut, bend, and roll the metal into organic curves, then assemble and weld them into abstract forms. My intentional process restriction of cold-bending shapes has formed my shape language. Narrow lines of steel rod naturally introduce negative space, and require pattern-making to build density.

To make the large scale sculptures, she searches scrap yards for industrial refuse ravaged by usage and demolition. “I investigate the body language of animals to express a feeling or state of being, with motion conveying emotion.

PAM KAINZ Before becoming an artist, Pam Kainz was a neuroscientist studying the human visual system. Her shift from neural networks to tree roots and wood grain is a continuation of her fascination with shape and pattern in the natural world across microscopic and macroscopic scales. With Vestiges, Pam explores how the New England landscape holds traces of time. “I collect the roots of these trees and expose them to flame. Fire transforms the surface and creates a protective layer of char, a process inspired by a traditional Japanese preservation technique. The darkened, jagged forms act as markers of change in the landscape, inviting reflection on natural cycles and how climate and human influence may be reshaping their rhythms. “Eastern red cedar is a tree of transition. It thrives in disturbed or abandoned land where little else will grow, then gradually recedes as it is outcompeted by deciduous trees. To capture this shift, roots from fallen cedars were gathered from nearby forests and scorched, forming a charred surface that preserves the weathered wood. These darkened forms act as markers of change in the landscape, inviting reflection on natural cycles and how they may be shifting as climate and human impact alter their pace.” CONTACT: pamkainzart.com | pam@pamkainzart.com | 617.448.5428

BLAZE KONEFAL Blaze Konefal found his inspiration to make dynamic sculptures after a visit to a Maine Botanical Garden outdoor sculpture show. He enjoys the challenge of creating sculptures that are dynamic, either in their movement or appearance. Every now and then a touch of whimsy is added. He has exhibited at Flying Horse in prior years. He won the 2024 CRAG Sculpture Award with his World Wide Web. He actively exhibits in the New England area at venues such as Sculpturefest in VT, Meredith Sculpture Walk in NH, Art on Main in Concord, NH and Sculpture at the Mount in Lenox, MA. He worked in IT for 24 years and is enjoying retirement designing sculptures and owning a Pilates studio. Curlicues grew out from an idea to have vertical spirals swaying in the wind. It did not work, but while taking it apart he carried the spiral horizontally and loved the shape of the curve and how it bobbed. The unexpected part was to see how they interact as they align with the wind, sometimes overlapping and at other times being at right angles to each other. They make people smile and think of maypoles or carnivals. Stairways of Life is an extension of his original Stairways to Heaven concept. We all go through stages in our life. Sometimes we move away from people, ideas, and community and then we move closer. Then the cycle repeats. An unexpected result of the sculpture is the shadow pattern throughout the day and the changing views as you move around the sculpture. CONTACT: morningwoodfire@gmail.com | 603.568.6749

THOMAS LINVILLE Thomas Linville is a sculptor living on the North Shore. He has exhibited extensively in the New England region for many years. Bronze is his primary medium and the subjects of his work can be either representational or abstract. “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.” CONTACT: tom_linville@yahoo.com | 978.879.8709

His work has appeared regularly in exhibitions throughout the region and is in collections such as at Wellesley College and the Boston Children’s Museum. Morris has created set designs and constructions for the Boston Opera House and the American Repertory Theater. “My interest lies in recycling objects and materials, things that had a previous life and purpose and then found themselves discarded. It is my hope that the viewer will recognize bits and pieces of tools, machines, and vehicles, and see them differently, considering their lines and shapes rather than their previous functions. I work figuratively, tapping into the organic nature of the scrap, and provide a connection between the living world and the industrial one.” CONTACT: morrisnorvin.com | mnorvin@gmail.com | 617.504.0107

PINGREE RAKU STUDENTS Pingree students: Evelyn Fellows, Millie Ettenberg, Biancaliz Perez, Jazzy Rivera, John Wysocki, Sofia Dennehy, Henry Fellows, Sydney O’Connell, Grace Pironti Teacher: Conor Pickett Where the Flowers Gather is a collaborative sculpture created by Pingree Raku— the school’s co-curricular ceramics program. The garden consists of many unique flowers sculpted on top of spheres. Students learned to throw these closed forms on the wheel to stretch their skills and master new techniques. They experimented with layering glazes and played around with the materials added during firing, such as pinecones, newspaper, dandelions, sawdust, and coconut husks. Created in the spring trimester, Pingree students came together to create a reminder of the season of flowers into the fall. This sculpture stands as a warm reminder of the spring to come.

JUSTIN PERLMAN “To describe my work, it is necessary to explain that at the core of my artistic philosophy is the belief that materials possess inherent narrative power. Through materials, stories of entanglement, connection, and emotional depth resonate on a broader human level. My artistic exploration is not limited to the physical transformation of materials but extends to the stories they can embody. The raw materials like, iron and stone, have very real associations for people, and are in fact pieces of social memory. This allows me to manipulate not just the form but the emotional essence of the work, creating sculptures that are as much about the viewer’s interpretation as they are about my intentions. For instance, using bronze to encapsulate the delicate weave of burlap, or casting natural grasses, speaks to the idea of permanence versus fragility, echoing the human condition in its duality. This duality is also apparent in the artistic process, where I seeks the precise moment when a material communicates both its inherent qualities and the narrative potential it embodies an epiphany that breathes life into the sculpture.”

R. DOUGLASS RICE R. Douglass Rice is a sculptor and painter who has worked professionally for over forty years, creating outdoor sculptures, paintings, collages, and performancebased projects. He designs his sculptures from small proportional drawings and fabricates them in aluminum, steel, and granite using slot‑together construction rather than welding or bolting.

COLLIDING WORLDS II

“Colliding Worlds II grows from a single Aluminum drawn rectangle into an interlocking $20,000 constellation of arcs, rings, and planes, held in tension just above the ground. The forms appear to tumble and spin, yet they lock together in a stable, quiet pause. As students walk around the piece, shifting curves frame fragments of trees, sky, and classmates. I hope the sculpture becomes a place of curiosity and conversation, inviting viewers to imagine their own structures and stories.” CONTACT: rdrart.com | drice1816@gmail.com | 917.731.1816

She has been commissioned to create work for several public art pieces, including for Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Emmanuel College; Franklin Park Zoo; Brimmer and May School; Children’s Hospital, Boston; and for the Yawkey Family Home for cancer patient families. “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.’” Born in Boston, MA in 1949, Janice is a mother of four VINYASA adult children and a grandmother of ten.

DAVID SKORA After earning a BS in Graphic Design, David Skora worked as a graphic designer and a fine artist in Chicago. Later, he moved east and received an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. He now lives with his family in the northwest hills of Connecticut, where he paints, sculpts, and designs in his studio and is a graphic design professor at Western Connecticut State University. His artwork has been shown extensively and can be found in many public and private collections throughout the US. “My work is based in the modernist tradition of art making. It interests me to create sculptures that explore the contrast between balance and imbalance. I like to create works that suggest a frozen moment in time just before the assembled elements of the sculpture would collapse if they were precariously balanced upon one another. My objective is to instill a sense of contemplation as well as inspiration to those who view my sculptures. I want the observer to have a visual conversation with my piece.” CONTACT: davidskora.com | dakethora@yahoo.com 860.782.1966

ALLEN SPIVACK Allen Spivack devoted himself full-time to making sculpture in 2013. A resident of Jamaica Plain, MA, Allen has been mentored by the renowned VT-based sculptor, David Stromeyer. “The Tower of Babel is part of a series of three sculptures called The Garden of Heavenly Delights. Each considers a spiritual question — how does our soul remain tethered to the material and ethereal worlds; how do we make meaning of our life journey; how do the biblical stories make sense to us in our time?” Allen has participated in many gallery and outdoor shows throughout New England. He has been a regular exhibitor in the annual Flying Horse Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit from 2017–2025 and has two pieces in the school’s permanent collection. In 2021, one of his pieces was on display at Sculpture Now! at The Mount in Lenox, MA. CONTACT: theothermanofsteel.com allenmspi@theothermanofsteel.com 617.620.1443

KARIN STANLEY Karin Stanley describes her work as “connecting ancient Megalithic and Archeo-Celtic elements — water, earth, fire, air — with the Genii locorum” (a Latin phrase meaning “the spirit of a place”). Karin spends a lot of time in stone yards selecting ‘special’ stones that speak to her. Something about the shape and color will call her where she can feel and channel the story in the stone and in a meditative, knowing way before creating. Each piece is bespoke and she always works with music. The music of Davy Spillane and Nóríne Ní Riain kept her company on this piece. She carves, assembles and creates in different materials, mostly with Celtic inspired elements, CLOCH NA BEATHA (GAELIC) “stitching and recalibrating the inner veil of time LIFE STONE Stone and place, evoking a modern interpretation from $2,300 an ancient era.” Monoliths, spheres, and organic shapes are the core of her work. Karin’s work can be seen in many permanent locations such as Massachusetts Horticultural Society, as well as in exhibits throughout New England and in private collections throughout the world. Please feel free to contact Karin about her playlists that go with her works, and any Gaelic terms and historical descriptions you may not understand.

KEITH TREXLER After several years as a volunteer at Andres Institute of Art in Brookline, NH and then on their board of directors, Keith Trexler became inspired by these sculptors from all over the world and started carving himself. He found the work to be “blissfully therapeutic — helping me cope with the stresses of my day job as an engineer.” He describes his work as primitive, modeled on ancient cultures and neolithic carvings, evoking a time when stone idols had power to spark imagination and wonder.” “For a dozen years I carved granite sculptures and petroglyphs on weekends using angle grinders with diamond blades, building up a modest sculpture park around our quarry and among my wife’s gardens. When I retired from engineering in 2020, I built a carving pavilion behind my home and devoted more time to sculpture.

EFFERVESCENCE Quartz remnant, granite $2,500

“For most sculptures, I start with pieces of granite that were quarried from bedrock by stone cutters a century ago and discarded as worthless or unworkable. To me, their irregular shapes often suggest a concept or direction for carving. I like to leave a portion of the stone as I found it, with its forest patina and hardy lichen giving testimony to aging for a hundred years in an ignominious pile of rejected rock before being transformed into a work of art.” CONTACT: stonehavenarts.com | keith@stonehavenarts.com | 603.566.9619
