Gearheads Exhibit Opens at Waterfall Arts

An exhibit of indoor work by creators of Eco-Motion sculptures currently gracing downtown Belfast streets will open on Friday July 9 at Waterfall Arts with a reception for the artists from 5 to 7pm. Other artists with a bent towards interactive or moveable work are also included in the Clifford Gallery exhibit which will be on display through September 17.

Paul Cartwright of Camden, who made the popular “Taking Care of Business” bike fountain at the corner of High and Main, will show a handmade wooden unicycle. Cy Klausmeyer from Swanville, who has a number of “winged” creatures on the streets, will include two or three interactive sculptures in the show. Christine Dentremont, from Swan’s Island, made spinning flowers for Main Street and a swooping wooden bench for the exhibit.

Other artists in the show include Wes Reddick, who will bring a large wheeled sculpture to the gallery. Leslie Pontz, from Philadelphia and Liberty, will show evocative crocheted wire pieces and Jay Sawyer from Warren will install one of his welded metal sculptures. Metal pieces by David McLaughlin will also be included in the exhibit.

Following the opening, Waterfall Arts will kick off a new series,” Wait Until Dark”, showing the innovative work of Maine filmmakers on an outdoor screen. The films will begin at dusk, around 8:30 pm. Visit waterfallarts.org for more details.

The Clifford Gallery is located at Waterfall Arts Belfast, 256 High Street. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and by appointment. Call 338-2222 or visit www.waterfallarts.org for more information
