A Collection Curated by Sasha Carnes
July 6—July 19, 2020
“All summer connotations fill this light,
a symmetry of different scales—the site
of a fibrous silence, the velvet lace
of iris, alders the moon can ignite.
One feels the amplitude of grief, the pace
of oscillating stars, power in place
where time has crossed and left a breathy stain.
A body needs the weight and thrust of grace.
I want to parse the logic, spin and domain,
the structure mourning will allow, the grain
of certainty in two estates, the dance
of perfect order, flowing toward its plane.
That bird you see has caught a proper stance,
unfaithful to its measure, a pert mischance
of divination on the move, the trace
of sacred darkness true to light’s advance.”
Brenda Cirioni
Patty deGrandpre
Marcia Wise
Linda DeStefano Brown
Catherine Gibbs
Light remains a rare constant in this time of enormous grief and upheaval, diligently framing our world as we struggle to rebuild and reform. But light can also carry a potency of its own. The work of Brenda Cirioni, Linda DeStefano Brown, Catherine Gibbs, Patty deGrandpre, and Marcia Wise articulates the chaos and emotion of our new reality, reflecting the “summer connotations” Jay Wright so beautifully illustrates in the poem above.

Her tenacious love for art and urbanism pushed her away from plans to pursue STEM, and she has dedicated herself to absorbing as much art as she can ever since. Sasha has loved supporting local artists through her work as a summer intern at Fountain Street, and hopes to continue doing so throughout her future endeavors.
