Rising Tide tour pours until 8 PM. Meet inside the gallery at 5:45. Here is the Artist Statement of his exhibit: \nThe woods and waters of Western Maine serve as a backdrop for this group of pictures\, as it holds the deepest love and connection of any area I have known. However\, with the passing of time\, and an ever-growing distance between my present station in life and the tributaries of my youth\, I feel a sense of yearning for this place that shaped me. I connect to these foundational spaces through my process\, paying homage to a way of life lived slightly closer to the earth\, and to the awe-inspiring natural beauty of a geographic region of personal and ancestral significance. Through the act of painting\, real memories and imagined spaces can coalesce. Earth tones and fluorescent paint can entwine\, holding space for one another at the same time. Invoked throughout is an acknowledgment of Jim Harrison’s poetic insights on how we spend our lives immersed in the richness and immediacy of living\, barely aware of the passage of time and the constant state of flux in which we and everything around us exist. These works lean into the paradox of how our memories and sense of self are eternally bound to\, though continuously flung further from\, an ever-expanding chain of ephemeral experiences. \n~ Dean McCrillis URL:https://moac.org/event/cove-street-gallery-artist-talk-followed-by-optional-rising-tide-brewery-visit/ CATEGORIES:Other/General ORGANIZER;CN="Dan Sexton":MAILTO:bradbury20@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260107T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260107T170000 DTSTAMP:20260430T162629 CREATED:20260107T155332Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260107T155332Z UID:10004271-1767772800-1767805200@moac.org SUMMARY:Dean McCrillis Artist Talk - Cove Street Gallery 6 PM Thursday & Rising Tide Aftah DESCRIPTION:  \nThe artist of a current Cove Street exhibit speak Thursday at  6 pm.
