Timeworn at the Gafney Library During the month of December, the Gafney Library in Sanbornville is the first venue to host the first in a series of shows featuring the art and photography of Peter Abate and Gary LaPierre.

The exhibit, titled Timeworn - The Art of Architecture in Decline will be shown in several New England locations through November of 2017.

While the Gafney begins the tour, other venues throughout 2017 include the Wolfeboro Public Library and the Conway Public Library in NH, the Goldberg Gallery at Fryeburg Academy and the Glickman Library in Portland, Maine, the Lynn Museum of Lynn and the Haverhill Public Library, both in Massachusetts. Abate and LaPierre last exhibited together in July of 1995 in Lynn, Massachusetts.

LaPierre lives with his family in Beverly, Massachusetts. He has always loved walking through old industrial sites in cities and towns to observe the transformative effects of weather and time on buildings and objects. In 1982 he received a “point and shoot” camera as a gift and has been collecting

down structures is, “a bit hard for some people to understand. I often feel that I am against the wrecking ball!”

Barry Kaplan, owner of The Finer Image in Danvers, Massachusetts, comments that “Gary’s eye for texture and color makes an interesting and unique collection, capable of evoking a nostalgia created by age and time.”

Abate is originally from Massachusetts and now resides in Maine. Abate’s interest in architectural subjects and salvage dates to his childhood and continues to contribute to the art he creates, working with watercolor, mixed media assemblage, collage and photography. He has been actively involved in the art community in and around Wakefield for more than 15 years and is currently a member of the Curatorial Committee of the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts.

Abate says, “While recently poring over the writings and letters of influential artists, I came across a quote by John Marin written in 1913:

‘Shall we consider the life of a great city as confined simply to the people and animals on its streets and in its buildings, are the buildings themselves dead? You cannot create a work of art unless the things you behold respond to something within you....thus the whole city is alive.’ That really resonated with me. I believe it expresses key inspirational elements of the message we are seeking to convey through this show.”

Abate continues, “In Timeworn The Art of Architecture in Decline, each work of art invites the viewer to ponder the peculiar mystery, the intimate story of an old building, old structure or details of related parts and the often poignant and lovely struggle to survive the scourge of time and the elements, human use and neglect and the march of progress. Each humble subject becomes its own material canvas so to speak, from which the patient, thoughtful eye draws its secrets and delights of unconventional beauty, by skillfully capturing the subject’s intrinsic qualities of form and function, placement, detail, color, line and texture and the interplay between these qualities - light and shadow, natural and unnatural surroundings. In this ingenious way, it’s a new work of art without either diminishing the other in anyway, but rather, each becomes a gift to the other and to the viewer.”

Abate and LaPierre hope their exhibit will encourage a far greater understanding and appreciation of the life and significance, the design and appeal of old buildings and related structures and why it is important to carefully and lovingly observe, preserve and record them as our priceless history and architectural heritage.

The exhibit may be viewed during open library hours of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 7 pm and Friday and Saturday 9 am to 12:30 pm. For more information, call the library at 522-3401.

Local Artisans Provide Unique Holiday Gifts

By Sarah Wright The holiday season is in full swing, and shoppers everywhere are looking for that perfect gift. Surprise someone on your list this year by purchasing an item handcrafted by a local artist, and witness the delight at receiving such a meaningful and unique gift.

New Hampshire has so many artisans who work with many mediums; visit your local gallery or a shop such as the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery/League of NH Craftsmen and give someone a work of art that they will cherish for years to come.

Sewing, weaving, felting, rug hooking, silk paintings, and clothing as “wearable art” are all options offered by fiber artisans. I found a colorful cloth basket years ago that I just couldn’t pass up. It still brings joy to me each day to see it in my home.

If you like pottery, there are so many wonderful pieces created with love and care by local artists. Jennie Blair of With These Hands Pottery is one such artist. Her mugs, bowls, and plates have lovely patterns that will fit with any décor. (I personally love the turquoise pieces with the circular design on them.) Jennie has been making hand-thrown stoneware for over 16 years, and is inspired by nature. She says, “Sharing my work with others allows me to pass on my vision of the peace that nature brings me.” To find out more about Jennie’s work, visit With These Hands Pottery on Facebook.

Glass work by Conway area artist Nathan Macomber Jewelry lovers will be happy to know that there are countless artisans who work with all sorts of materials to make amazing pins, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and even tiaras that will surely become “conversation pieces” to those who wear them. Working with gems, metals, beads, and beautiful stones, you can find jewelry for every preference: modern, antique, or pieces inspired by nature. (At a local gallery, I saw a silver bracelet with a starfish charm on it that I’ll definitely be adding to my list this year.)

Metal crafters can also work on a larger scale, making sculptures for

your home or lawn. Kathleen Krzewinski knew at the age of eight that she wanted to work with metal, after one of her teachers held a welded art demonstration for her class. Born in Zeist, Holland, and now living in Wakefield, Kathleen felt at home as soon as she came to New Hampshire. She makes flower sculptures out of metal, and smaller sculptures of ocean life, like sea turtles, dolphins, and fish that are really eye-catching. She also makes garden sculptures of butterflies and dragonflies, and pieces that you can hang on your wall. The Great Blue Heron wall sculpture has an amazing

sheen of blue on the bird’s back. Visit www.ykmetalarts.com.

But that’s not all you’ll find at an art gallery. There are artists who work with mixed media, transforming canvasses with many different materials for their paintings and drawings, watercolor and oil painters, photographers, and printmakers who make wonderful prints to frame or on cards.

Those who work with leather, or create amazing pieces out of wood might also have that special piece that appeals to you. Wood arts can include anything from furniture (like beautiful accent tables), to items like cutting boards, ornaments, bowls, jewelry boxes, puzzles, and even baby rattles. League of N.H. Craftsmen member Peter Bloch makes wooden lamps with wooden lampshades that allow the light to softly shine through in unique, natural patterns; find his work at the Meredith League shop.

Woven baskets are useful as well as eye-catching, and make great gifts.

Janice Christie creates amazing, pine needle baskets that you can view online at www.nhcrafts.org or in person at the Meredith League shop. It’s amazing what she can do with pine needles!

Glass is another medium with a lot to add to a home’s décor. Nathan Macomber loves the fluid nature of working with glass, and the warmth the material radiates when it’s hot. In 2002, he bought his family’s old farm in

Shopping from home – and not online The holiday season, while festive and fun, is easily one of the most wasteful times of year. In the U.S., the annual trash from gift-wrap and shopping bags totals over four million tons, according to Eartheasy.com. If everyone wrapped just three gifts in reused paper or fabric gift bags, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 hockey rinks. And that’s just the wrapping; there’s also the shopping and shipping and the great accumulation of stuff that inevitably occurs every year.

This year, you can take one small, fun step toward less waste by revamping your annual gift-swapping parties, such as office secret Santas or the good-time Yankee swaps with family and friends.

Instead of putting a dollar limit on the gifts, put a ban on buying anything. A DIY mandate will add a level of charm and intimacy to the party, reduce the waste associated with the holiday and help to declutter your own home.

Whether it’s crafting, baking or repurposing, this would be a chance to take stock of what you have in-house that, while just taking up space there, could make a nice gift for someone else. Take a look in your “junk closet” or way back in your cupboards and ask yourself these two questions: “Am I honestly ever going to use this?” and “Would it make someone else happy?” And then get creative on how to package and present it for someone else.

Here are some ideas to get you started: Crafting makes perfect If you’re a crafty person already, this should be a no-brainer. In fact, it’s probably already your plan. Knit

a hat and scarf. Make a wreath out of old Christmas tree ornaments. Paint a picture. Make a decorative shadow box. Even if you are a crafting novice, there are plenty of gifts you can make that are just as classy as what you could find in a store.

Baking a big deal No one’s going to turn away something baked with love, and decorating a homemade treat for the holiday is as easy as pie. So pick out your favorite cookie, brownie, pie or truffle recipe and once you’ve made your treat, dress it up. Cover it with

newspaper and a bow on top, or grab a few small round ornaments, tie them together with some ribbon and tape them to the top. Better yet, if you find a nice container or dish that would make a nice gift on its own, make that part of the package.

Turn to Mason No time or inclination to bake? Grab a Mason jar and throw in all of the ingredients for some sweet cookies, or perhaps some peppermint hot chocolate (crush up some candy canes and throw them in with the cocoa), tie a ribbon around the lid and put a bow

on top. With all of that time you saved, you could do a little more to decorate the jar if you like: dip the bottom in gold paint or spackle some white paint around it to look like frost.

Kitchen scrapbooking Okay, there was baking, then making someone else bake, and now we take it a step further and say, “Hey, do it yourself!” Take a handful of your favorite recipes and write them out on index cards or nice cardstock, then decorate them and bind them as a homemade cookbook for your friends.

Did you add your best Italian dish?

Then think about sprucing up your gently used garlic press and attaching it to the book for a little extra something.

(I mean, come on, you have two garlic presses anyway, and when’s the last time you used either?)

Everything has a repurpose Make a plan to do a deep clean/ reorganization around this time of year, and you’ll be surprised to find quite a few things in your home that would make excellent gifts. Perhaps there’s a fancy serving bowl and ladle someone gave you years ago that you never used; maybe a seasonal set of coffee mugs you swore you would switch out for the holidays but never did; or a couple of framed prints you planned to redecorate with but never got around to. A review of your “stuff” may turn up some items that would make great gifts with a little TLC. There are a million ways to repurpose household items that will be hip and classy, and everyone loves to own something with a little backstory. “Oh, these? These were actually old picture frames that my friend repurposed into TV trays!”

Rochester Museum of Fine Arts presents Diane Bowie Zaitlin The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts is proud to present “Diane Bowie Zaitlin: Revelations” on view in the Carnegie Gallery at the Rochester Public Library; the exhibit opened in early December and will be on view until February 3, 2017.

The exhibition brings together two unique bodies of work in a concert of color and gesture. Selected works previously shown in a solo exhibition at the Maine Jewish Museum in 2015 is a collection of encaustic pieces.

Inherent in the encaustic process for Zaitlin is the addition and subtraction of layers of beeswax and resin with drawing, which, Carl Little, in his review of the exhibition in Art New England, observed produces “all-over paintings alive with marks” that “offer

evidence of Zaitlin’s mastery of the media and materials, not to mention her skill at presenting richly conceived imagery that follows you out the door.”

In contrast, works included in Zaitlin’s exhibition at the June Fitzpatrick Gallery in Portland in early 2016, are acrylic and graphite quickly worked on Bristol board.

These gestural “drawings” left an immediate impression on Daniel Kany in his review of the exhibition for the Portland Press Herald where he compared them to “the acrylic billows of Morris Louis, Andrew Wyeth’s ghostly white curtains, Willem de Kooning’s early curving forms only executed in his black and white Attic Series style and, more than anything else, Jackson Pollock if only he had

survived.”

Zaitlin’s work involves layering of imagery and marks. The artist typically starts with writing and drawing that sets the tone for the piece. She works intuitively, creating a give-and-take between layers; a revealing and obscuring of fragments of phrases, marks and patterns that suggest a story of their own.

The Carnegie Gallery in the Rochester Public Library is located at 65 South Main Street in Rochester and is open Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 8:30 pm, Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and Saturday, 9 am to 4 pm. Visit dianebowiezaitlin.com for more about the artist and rochestermfa.org for more about the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts.

Artwork by Diane Bowie Zaitlin is on view at the Carnegie Gallery, Rochester (NH) Public Library.

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire (NOFA-NH) is pleased to announce Joel Salatin as keynote speaker of the 15th Annual NOFA-NH Winter Conference, in Concord on January 28, 2017.

Joel Salatin is a renowned author, lecturer, and third generation farmer on his family’s Polyface Farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Featured in Michael Pollan’s New York Times bestseller, Omnivore’s Dilemma, and in the award-winning documentaries Food, Inc. and Fresh, Polyface Farm services more than 5,000 families, 50 restaurants, 10 retail outlets, and a farmers’ market with salad bar, beef,

pigaerator pork, pastured poultry, and forestry products. When he’s not on the road speaking, Salatin is at home on the farm, keeping the callouses on his hands and dirt under his fingernails, mentoring young people, inspiring visitors, and promoting local, regenerative food and farming systems.

Salatin has authored nine books including Folks, This Ain’t Normal: A Farmer’s Advice for Happier Hens, Healthier People, and a Better World and The Sheer Ecstacy of Being a Lunatic Farmer. He also writes The Pastoralist column for Stockman Grass Farmer, granddaddy catalyst for the grass farming movement, and the Pitchfork Pulpit column for Mother

Earth News, as well as numerous guest articles for ACRES USA and other publications. A frequent guest on radio programs and podcasts targeting farmers, homesteaders, and foodies, Salatin’s practical, can-do solutions tied to passionate soliloquies for sustainability offer everyone food for thought and plans for action.

NOFA-NH’s 15th Annual Winter Conference entitled “Grow Well, Eat Well” will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2017, at Rundlett Middle School, 144 South Street, Concord, NH. The all-day conference will include workshops on a variety of topics, led by local and national leaders in their fields - including farmer technical

workshops presented by Joel Salatin.

The conference will also showcase local vendors at the Green Market Fair, book signings with authors and presenters hosted by MainStreet BookEnds of Warner, and a Seed Swap and raffle for participants. Meals are included in the conference fee and will be catered by The Crust & Crumb of Concord.

Rochester Opera House presents Recycled Percussion Since Justin Spencer formed Recycled Percussion in 1995, the band has been unstoppable. Their junk rock music became a national phenomenon week after week during their smash hit performances on America’s Got Talent in 2009.

The unique band will perform at the Rochester Opera House, 31 Wakefield St. in Rochester on Tuesday, December 27 for two shows: 4 pm and 7:30 pm.

Playing over 4,000 shows and over 400 corporate events in more than 15 countries, the group has also done guest appearances on “Carson Daly”, “The Today Show”, “China’s Got Talent” and the Latin Grammy Awards.

After being featured on the cover of USA Today and being voted National Act of the Year a record-breaking six

times, the band gained worldwide recognition.

In 2010, they sealed the deal and became headliners in Las Vegas.

Taking 2013 by storm, Recycled Percussion elevated their energy level, created new performance elements and they continue to bring junk rock music to the Las Vegas Strip nightly at The Quad Resort and Casino.

Reserve tickets for the Rochester Opera House show by calling the box office at 603-335-1992, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 am to 5 pm and two hours before the show.
