Andrea Waxman Mulcahy – Kennebunk, ME (web)
Sculptor
"Time In Space" | Steel | 34"X32"X30"
Artist Statement: "My work illuminates an energetic state that exists yet is generally not seen. Movement as it's captured in space, on earth, and within the physical body indicates pathways and energy flow. Visualization of this movement brings to mind that which is not seen in the world but still exists. The etheric field, where an exchange exists between the universal energy field and the physical body, can be felt yet not seen. It's my interest to illustrate that type of energy flow through three dimensional lines. I'm intrigued the way simple lines can become complex structures and how complex structures can be reduced to simple lines." --Andrea Waxman Mulcahy

Judy O'Donnell – Falmouth, ME (web)
Sculptor
"Aveta" | Bronze | 17"HX9'"WX8"D
Artist Statement: "The natural environment and man's primitive inter-connectedness to it are my inspiration. My bronze sculptures depict life's outer and inner experiences, it's myths and mystique, through creatures, their symbols, natural settings, textures and rhythms. There is energy in all things. Even from seeming endpoints can come transformation, regeneration and rebirth. The biological rhythms in man and nature include those occurring in the transition from one state of being to another. Examples of such rhythms can be found in an autobiographical collection from an eight year period of breast cancer discovery, treatment and survival. This period doesn't define or overshadow my 30 years as an artist. Rather, the works relay a literal and figurative transformation from the inside out, during which customary perspectives of time, self and consciousness ceded to nature's own processes. By staying open to this discomforting re-ordering as nature dictated my processes, regeneration materialized in a series of "Mindscapes" on canvas and reliefs constructed of wood and found objects. The bronzes cast in year eight embody the tempered re-joining of disconnected parts culminating in the triumph of healing and renewal. Taking inspiration from what nature hands me also happens on daily walks in the woods. Staying artistically open to these experiences, I find the surroundings rich in visual and textural imagery and found objects. From the twisting, knotted forms of ancient tree roots to the filigree and subtle patterns of tree fungus, nature's transformational evidence is everywhere. From the old, even "dead," emerges the new. My job as an artist is to stay open to the wonders and keep up with its revealings." --Judy O'Donnell
