The exhibition Within | Without celebrates Conneman’s masterful brush-drawn, hand-carved lettering in stone and on paper. The stones are found throughout New England, many on walks in the wilds of Cape Ann. In the artist’s words: Lettering out these words with a brush and paint is a silent performance—a fluid, slow-motion translation into visual presence. Carving is elemental—the physical removal of stone with a mallet and chisel. Words become tactile and enduring.
The exhibition continues through July 28.
The gallery is located at 19 Pleasant Street, Gloucester next to the Cape Ann Museum. Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 1:00-5:00 and by appointment. 917-902-4359 . janedeeringgallery.com
Conneman holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and earned a Diploma in Bookbinding from the North Bennet Street School, Boston.
