“Under the Hemlocks in Paper Mask” (photo), by Robin MacDonald-Foley, at Galatea Fine Art, Boston
The gallery says:
“Robin MacDonald-Foley’s self-portrait was staged in her backyard holding her photograph, “Cathedral in the Woods.’’ The paper mask was constructed from a print of her photograph. Being under her hemlocks in the shadows of the day reminded her of this canopy of forest trees on Peddocks Island, in Boston Harbor, which she regards as her cathedral. The fragility, strength, and shelter of her trees became a place of comfort for Robin. She feels it’s as close as she'll get to her favorite national park for the time being.’’
She lives in Stoughton, Mass.
