Gary the Gannet (Northern Gannet) is a regular to the nesting grounds at Machias Seal Island. It’s a pretty woeful tale of this male Northern Gannet returning to the island year after year to build a nest to attract a female partner with NO success…..year after year….all we can imagine is that he must exhibit some serious Gannet red flags to the ladies to go so long without a partner. It gives the term empty nest new poignancy. He seems quite majestic to me, but I’m not a Northern Gannet. More photos and story details on Facebook at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures.

On Monday the skies were clear and blue. Walking to Magnolia Pier and sitting on float was delightful. The houses on the shore add to the view.

For the summer attractions, COSMOS Gallery in Gloucester will host two shows featuring the works of collage artists. This medium has no boundaries—it can be two- or three-dimensional; comprised of any texture, surface, or material; created by any number of methods. The unifying talent among the artists: ingenuity.
The first show, ASSEMBLE I, will open on Friday, June 27 and feature the works of four artists: Brad Greenwood (Los Angeles), Hans Pundt (Gloucester), Matthew Rose (Paris), and Meredith Anderson (Gloucester). Each artist brings a unique approach to the art form. Their aesthetics tend toward the surreal, humorous, beguiling, wry, strange, and erotic. COSMOS Gallery will exhibit a multitude of pieces from each artist, price range $3,000 – $100.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
BRAD GREENWOOD
Brad Greenwood received his BA from Ursinus College in 1989 and his degree in painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia in 1996. He has had numerous solo exhibitions, including Eat the Wolf in November 2012 at La MaMa Galleria and Unauthorized Biographies at Mixed Greens Gallery in November 2013. A solo show Partly Fiction featured ten years of works on paper and opened at New York’s Steven Amedee Gallery in May 2019. In 2021, a solo show of his new collages was presented at The Nook Gallery at Counterpoint in Los Angeles. Greenwood has also shown in numerous group exhibitions in New York and Philadelphia and has curated multiple shows for HERE Arts Center in New York.
HANS PUNDT
Hans Pundt is an artist and a retired estate horticulturalist on Cape Ann who has created a portfolio of renowned landscapes and intricate assemblage artworks since the early 1980s. His creative work in nature has been honored by awards from the Passage Flower Show in Salem, the Topsfield Fair, and the Boston Flower Show. Hans’ two- and three-dimensional artistic works were launched from his Granite Hill studio beginning in the late 1990s when he was part of the Local Colors co-op. He went on to exhibit at local businesses, Flat Rocks Gallery, Rocky Neck, the Clark Gallery in Lincoln, MA, the Glenn Urquhart School Gallery, and the Cape Ann Museum outreach project.
MATTHEW ROSE
Matthew Rose graduated from Brown University (1981) with a degree in Semiotics/Linguistics. Influenced by Americans Ray Johnson, Jasper Johns, Joseph Cornell and a handful of French surrealists, he has created a rich life as a visual artist, author (both as journalist and novelist), and traveler/curator. Rose has become renowned for his collage work and prefers paper—“its texture, how it absorbs or not paint, how it rots.” Many of the materials Rose uses come from his walks of the Paris streets. “There is a sensibility here [in Paris…] an openness. It’s easy for me to work here. The street gives me a lot of stuff.” Most any day of the week, Rose can be found in his studio near Montparnasse, manipulating paper, wood, canvas, but has been seen trekking the world, with projects and shows taking him to Israel, Sri Lanka, USA, and Mexico.
MEREDITH ANDERSON
Artmaking and creativity have always been vital components of Meredith’s life—embedded in her DNA and in the turpentine-scented home in Rockport, MA where she was raised. After completing art studies at Hunter College and working as an art mover, in 2000 she returned to Cape Ann with husband and son, and built a local reputation in graphic design and jewelry creation. Today she freely explores material and form, moving between painting, sculpture, and assemblage. Her work comes from an essential and intuitive place and forms the interpretation of her world.
