New Exhibition Opening at The Parsonage Gallery

Summer J. Hart explores the balance between extractive and sustainable approaches to nature. Made primarily from abandoned newsprint sourced from the ruins of the East Millinocket paper mill, Hart’s drawings and installations variously combine recycled, reclaimed, remade, and commercially made paper, ink, and water. The show’s title evokes the spring-to-fall season of the river drives that, for generations, moved thousands of trees from the forest of northern Maine, down the Penobscot River, to the factories in which timber was pulped, bleached, and milled into paper.

Join us Friday, May 19 at 4pm for art, poetry, and drinks.

Exhibition will run May 19 - June 26
