SCULPTURE at Maine Audubon, Gilsland Farm, Falmouth, Maine


Art curator June Lacombe will once again bring stunning sculpture to the woods and meadows of Gilsland Farm this summer. "My goal is to find the right piece of sculpture for the setting so that both will resonate in new ways, writes Lacombe. "Sculpture can help us explore our relationship with our environment and give years of contemplative pleasure."
This year's featured artists:

Lise Becu brings a fluid, dreamlike quality to her work focusing on wildlife and women. She allows images to emerge while letting parts of the natural stone relief remain.

Inspired by his rich natural environment, Ray Carbone is an accomplished wildlife artist working in wood, granite and bronze. Sculpture scaled for the home and garden will be sited in the visitors’ center, butterfly and wild flower gardens.

Wendy Klemperer salvages industrial materials to construct expressive gestural sketches in steel. This exhibition features extirpated wildlife species including life size wolves, elk, caribou, and mountain lions along with native deer, fox and porcupines. Sculpture will be sited along the entry drive, woodland trails, by the pond and apple orchards of Gilsland farm, re-imagining these species on the Maine landscape.

An opening reception will be held at Gilsland Farm on June 5, from 4 to 6 p.m. Call June Lacombe at 207-688-4468 for details.
