Artist Sarah Baldwin’s 2-day drawing installation event: territory*wetlands to be hosted by Engine (Friday 9/12 & Saturday 9/13) in Biddeford.
Baldwin, who is supported by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, is a New England native. She explores New England’s coastal wetlands in a series of ink studies and new media works. Through experimental studio technique, Baldwin captures the movement of tidal fluctuations that shape the wetland landscape. The result is series of ink drawings marking the movement of the tide. Baldwin will be demonstrating this drawing technique during a 2-day installation event at Engine, 265 Main St. Biddeford, Maine. Engine will be hosting the 2-day drawing event on Friday 9/12 from 2pm-6pm and Saturday 9/13 from 11am-4pm.
“Informed by observation of the wetland environment, I mimic the actions of the tide. Repetitive washes of ink over vellum. Fabric soaked, dried, soaked and dried, like tidal refuse. Marks made in rows daily... cyclically. In accord with the estuarine landscape as it shifts each day, salted waves through the brackish murky depths of the red maple swamp.” -sarah baldwin
