Exhibition Opening: Found Adrift
Ron Miriello has created an extensive series of art pieces and installations called Found Adrift | Timeless new works inspired by an 1876 seaweed scrapbook. Nature was frozen in time, in a collection by a young woman from Searsport, Maine. Tucked away in a trunk for almost 150 years, it was rediscovered by Richard Rydell, a local collector and lifelong friend of Ron’s. The intricate beauty captured in the original specimens inspired the artist during a visit to Maine in 2023 and became the subjects for his extensive new collection of works on canvas, textiles, video, and lithographs – all in service to the stunning, hidden beauty of nature itself.
After the Opening reception, the exhibition will be available by appointment only until February 1, 2025.
