My art work is part of this exhibit including "Colt Armory" series, digital photos on rice paper. Gallery director Janice LaMotta hung them in the perfect spot in the COCC gallery!
In the Gilbert Gallery in the dining hall through June 12 are paintings by Joan Morosani, class of 1972.
The reception is on Saturday, May 10 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Joan
Morosani was a student of Penny Prentis also known as Sara Prentis
Brown. Joan went on from Miss Porter's School (where she won the Art
Award) to earn her BA from Sarah Lawrence College in 1975. She continued
her studies at the LaCoste (France) School during the summers of '73
and '75 and at University of Pennsylvania '73-74 where she studied with
Rackstraw Downes. She has also studied at the Arts Students League in
NYC with several teachers including Robert Beverly Hale. Further studies
include the Isabel O'Neil Studio, the National Academy (with Barbara
Grossman, Burton Silverman, and Henry Finkelstein among others), and the
Washington Art Association (with Lois Dodd and Katherine Kehoe).
She has exhibited throughout Connecticut, at Charym
Yoga Studio, Handwright Gallery, Oliver Wolcott Library, The Stone
Barn, The Haight Vinyard, The White Gallery, White Space Gallery,
Washington Art Association, Artwell Gallery, and at the Vermont Artisans
Gallery, Brattleboro, VT
The
show at the Gilbert Gallery in the Main Building dining hall at Miss
Porter's School can be seen from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. M-F and Saturday
and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. by ringing the bell at the door of the
Main Building, 60 Main Street Farmington, CT 06032. For access at other
times or for further information please call 860 418-9557.
She writes:
(My)
paintings depict pattern, color and movement in still life and
landscape. There is a personal, almost familial relationship between
objects, design configuration and empty space. There is intimacy and
personal history in all subject matter. The viewer can enter that
experience and have an instantaneous recognition of a moment in time.

The theme of this show, which coincides with the May 17th opening of LOVE/SICK at TheaterWorks, revolves around the dichotomy of the blossom and decay of love. Saplings born in April rise from the matter of their ancestors, grow, die, and become that matter. Likewise, love is born, lives and dies; and its ashes are the soil in which new love grows.
Visual art for the show will explore love and its cycle of birth, blossom, decay, and rebirth, as well as the juxtaposition of those, literally and metaphorically.

“Overflow” is a four-way conversation, on paper, about too much. Is it possible to measure abundance and generosity, to represent big thinking and a sincere committment to transformation? Can one really go somewhere, far away or way too close, with a piece of paper? What is the appeal of “infinite space”? Is it a fantasy about freedom, the wide-open joy of boundless movement and unrestricted time, or, does the attraction live in the contradiction between space and attachment? Can it be that the most vivid definition of Abstraction is grounded in the ordinary, visceral experience of an object? “Overflow” expands and refracts a visual discussion about the violence, humor and perseverence that accompany resistance, the inevitability of boundaries and a handmade, idiosyncratic attack on meaninglessness.
