“Stalking Heron” (welded found steel scrap), by Madeleine Lord, in “Art Forward,’’ a group show of the National Association of Women Artists, at Galatea Fine Art, Boston, Nov. 5-Nov. 28.
The gallery says:
“Art Forward' is a group exhibition of 2D and 3D works that explore all things that have their turn to change with time. In us, past, present, future meet. They collide and synthesize cultures - allowing time to change, end, begin a new. Change is life, inconsistent as our future is time's excuse. The future frightens us, too profound and vague, but change is hopeful, healing, and leaves us smiling ahead.’’
Madeleine Lord is based in Dudley, Mass., south of Worcester and on the border with Connecticut. George Washington really did sleep there.
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Dudley, designed by renowned Canadian-born sculptor John A. Wilson, who eventually was based in the Chestnut Hill section of Newton, Mass. The statue is meant to honor veterans of all American wars.
Renowned Modernist architect Walter Gropius called Wilson’s studio “the most beautiful in the world."
