Through Time and Place: Rachel Ellis Kaufman and Heather Blume
Opening reception:
March 23, 6-8pm, potluck
On view March 23-May 13, 2012
Blume and Kaufman influenced each other greatly, and created bodies of work that have parallel narratives with the natural world of Cape Cod. "It is [Kaufman's] love of the Cape, where she returned year after year, that provided great inspiration for her work, as well as the work of her daughter, Heather Blume," writes co-curator Susan Kurtzman.
Through this exhibition, curators Kurtzman and McCarthy highlight both the similarities and subtle nuances between the work of these two highly skilled and distinctly Cape Cod artists.
PAAM gratefully acknowledges the Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Cahoon Museum for lending works to the exhibition, in addition to the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod for generously providing support for the accompanying catalog.
