Link to FerrinGallery.com ONVIEW: The Things They Left Behind MICHAEL BORONIEC & GERIT GRIMM were resident artists at Project Art in Cummington, MA this past winter. Selected works are onview through April 24th in The Things They Left Behind MICHAEL BORONIEC, a Berkshire native, lives and works in Pittsfield, teaching high school art by day and sculpting in ceramics, mixed media and printmaking by night. Michael Boroniec's current series of sculptures was produced at Project Art in honor of his childhood friend, a West Point graduate, currently on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Using the opportunity to work in a new environment surrounded by other art professionals, Boroniec chose to re-objectify, in ceramic materials, the uniforms and equipment that will travel with Captain Russo into the war zone. An ardent pacifist, this series builds on his interest to use his work to send a message.

Using handmade dishes to set a table provides the opportunity to express private creativity: ephemeral and memorable. The social fabric, the relationships built one meal at a time becomes the real art and the meal has an energy of a higher order. Conversation is magic, bringing each individual at the table into a personal bond." photo caption: MaryAnne Davis, Naked Porcelain, Dinnerware Link to FerrinGallery.com for MaryAnne Davis's web portfolio DINE: Bascom Lodge DINE with meal prepared by Bascom Lodge Chef John Dudek featuring a menu from locally grown produce, opening for the season, May 15.  MENU Bruschetta w/ grilled asparagus, red onions, basil and Old Chatham camembert Shrimp à ì Américaine w/ shallots, tomato, tarragon, chervil and white wine Lemon tartlets, Coffee & Tea Read More about Bascom Lodge and Mt.
