• BMAC: Brattleboro Museum & Art Center [posted 6/24/24]
    “Just past the halfway mark of the Connecticut River’s 400-mile path south from Canada to the Long Island Sound, the water makes an abrupt hitch eastward around an unforgiving 30-acre shelf of granitic bedrock that has been there forever.”
    “Island,” is Susan Mikula’s BMAC-commissioned portrait of this fascinating, historic corner of Bellow’s Falls, Vermont. “…where Native Americans fished for salmon and shad [and] there were once resort hotels, paper mills, [and] armament manufacturers,” today “the 30 acres is quiet. Abandoned mills fold in on themselves, graffiti blooms on dead paint, the ghosts of trains with names like the Ambassador and the Cheshire ride the rails past dark signal masts.”
    “Island” will be on view at the museum from October 26, 2024 to February 9, 2025.
