Opening Reception for Nadine Boughton: American Home. Today at 5:00pm

11072322_912001862193189_3181911435623536272_oTrident Gallery is pleased to present American Home, an exhibition of collage and photography by Nadine Boughton.

For the last twelve years, Boughton has used a digital process to compose collages of mid-century vintage materials. By placing disparate imagery into creative juxtaposition, she creates witty, provocative narratives that engage and reveal the popular cultures and the psychologies of both the mid-century and contemporary eras. Her creations delight with humor, surprise, and uncategorizable blends of fantasy and the familiar, and of darkness and fun.

SHARK DRONE VIDEO BY MARTIN DEL VECCHIO

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

In celebration of Shark Week (July 5th through the 12th), I thought it would be fun to see Martin Del Vecchio’s amazing basking shark video shot in 4K with his drone off of Bass Rocks. So cool that Martin captured and so cool we have Basking Sharks visiting our shores!

Healing Wall Slide Show

Posted on by Marty Luster

If you have visited the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, you know first hand the emotions and memories it evokes. A visit to The “Wall That Heals,”  a 1/2 size replica of the Memorial now on display at the Fuller School site, is no less evocative. In a short slide show, I have tried to capture some of the emotions and sensibilities that envelop  most visitors. Each person brings his or her own memories and wounds, physical and emotional, of that era. It is truly a place that heals.

The display will be here through Sunday, June12.

What do you do?

Posted on by Alicia Unleashed

Public restrooms are gross no matter how you look at it.

So when you have to use the public restroom, do you actually sit on the toilet?

Some people make a HUGE deal out of it and layer the seat like crazy!

Gloucester MA  — Rocky Neck Art Colony’s Only Excellent Music Series is pleased to welcome harpist, singer and healing artist Christine Tulis, multi percussionist Kem Stone and special guest Stan Strickland for a unique concert highlighting the healing qualities of music on Saturday, July 11 from 7:30 – 9 pm.

Christine Tulis and Kem Stone are award-winning composers who have forged a musical partnership based on a mutual love of the healing properties of music. Their evocative sound features Christine’s celestial voice and Celtic harp seamlessly blended with Kem’s keyboard and world percussion mastery. They are joined by internationally acclaimed sax and flute player Stan Strickland for a magical evening of music to open your heart.

Inspired by the poetry of Rumi, one of the world’s greatest mystical poets, the writings of Saint Theresa of Avila and her own personal experiences, Christine creates songs celebrating the universal spirit of love and beauty. The harp has an ancient history of being used to facilitate healing and help people connect to the sacred, inner dimensions of their being. This program educates people about the healing qualities of music and highlights the spiritual ideas embedded in the poetry to offer ways for them to apply these concepts to their daily lives to create greater health, happiness and well-being.
