NATHAN DEYESSO ~ DSO CREATIVE FABRICATION
NEW WORKS IN BENT STEEL
Nate is a Maine artist and has been a furniture builder for the last eight years. The ocean and its wonder are the major themes throughout his recent work. The feelings and sights from his trips into the sea are then translated into art forms. A cresting deep swell, smooth oscillating waves, and long horizons lines off in the distance, can all be seen within a familiar porthole shape framework. The pieces are representational but abstract enough to allow freedom for emotional interpretation.

FUTURE IN FOCUS ~
A Photography Exhibit by 5th Graders From Woodside Elementary School, In Collaboration With Bowdoin College
What does 'sense of place' look like to a fifth grade student? Over the course of the past year, a small group of Bowdoin College students have taught Miss Hall's class at Woodside Elementary School the art of digital photography. The Bowdoin students, led by Aspen Gavenus, helped each student develop his or her own artistic and technical photography skills. The fifth graders explored different local community spaces, including Cathance Nature Preserve, Wolfe's Neck State Park, and their own elementary school in Topsham. Their final project, as shown at Café Frontier, is a collection of photographs capturing each child's unique and important sense of place in their community.
