Artist Reception - Amber Maida "Oubliette"
2021-09-04 15:00 - 18:00 | The Souterrain Gallery, 413 Sharon Goshen Turnpike, West Cornwall, CT, 06796, United States
Please join us for the Artist Reception of Amber Maida “Oubliette” at The Souterrain Gallery of The Wish House
Saturday, September 4, 3-6pm accompanied by The Ballyhack Schoolboys – Jazz and such, on the Wish House Lawn. Bring a lawn chair if you wish.
Artist Statement –b. 1980 Buffalo, NY
Amber’s work begins with a spiritual ritual of Chi-cultivation, grounding her deeply into the earth; embodying its energy and guiding her hands like a dance, while simultaneously building a universal, yet intimate story within each work. This symbiotic connection with these energies charges the materials with positivity, preserving a storied past or one yet to be known. Embedded elements of nature enrich the layered, textural quality and symbolic language of her work. Gathered found or saved objects such as preserved plant matter, crystals, fabrics, steel cut nails, eggshells, feathers and bees are fused with paint becoming a visual journal, that honor both the materials and her message.
In 2010 Amber sustained major lung surgery, which invited a greater awareness of time, life, love and gratitude. This experience led her to create new collections of mixed media paintings and sculptures based on the intense process of healing and discovery of many silver-linings. Each work aims to honor dualities such as fragility while building/unlocking strength, the old with the new, macro/ micro, and nature vs. man-made materials.
Currently, she is enjoying living life, and creating in Warren, CT with her husband, Pete, and their poodle, Eros.

Reading Middlemarch with Mark Scarbrough - Zoom
2021-09-28 10:00 - 11:30 | Virtual
MIDDLEMARCH: It’s one of the finest novels ever written. So let’s take a long, luxurious stroll through George Eliot’s masterpiece to discover its successes and (yes) its failures. It’s big enough to encompass some massive fault lines. And it’s ambitious enough to hold them together. (Almost.) How does an atheist write about a Christian heroine? How does one of the leading intellectuals of her day write the story of rural people? How does Mary Ann Evans become George Eliot? In this eight-week slow-walk, we’ll answer these and many more questions. Read slow. Stick with us so that we’re reading together. Let’s make this a group project to explore this fine piece of art.
Eight Tuesday mornings, 10:00 to 11:30am
9/28 Prelude and Book I “Miss Brooke” (chapters 1 – 12)
10/5 Book II “Old And Young” (chapters 13 – 22)
10/12 Book III “Waiting For Death” (chapters 23 – 33)
10/19 Book IV “Three Love Problems” (chapters 34 – 42)
10/26 Book V “The Dead Hand” (chapters 43 – 53)
11/2 Book VI “The Widow And The Wife” (chapters 54 – 62)
11/9 Book VII “Two Temptations” (chapters 63 – 71)
11/16 Book VIII “Sunset And Sunrise” (chapters 72 – Finale)
This series will be free of charge and accessed via Zoom. Registration required.

Artist Talk - Amber Maida "Oubliette"
2021-10-02 13:00 | The Souterrain Gallery, 413 Sharon Goshen Turnpike, West Cornwall, CT, 06796, United States
Please join us for an artist talk on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 1pm at the Souterrain Gallery 413 Sharon Goshen Tnpk., Route 128, West Cornwall, CT.
“Oubliette,” a solo art exhibit featuring contemporary mixed media paintings and sculptures created by artist, Amber Maida of Warren, CT will be on view and discussed then.
These primarily abstract artworks give life to found and discarded objects that are both rich in symbolism and texture. The underlying currents of themes such as silver linings, the art of healing, mythology/storytelling, dualities and the sacred ancestral nods are infused with Maida’s ritual-based practice that has been developed over decades. Eggshells, maple seedlings, coffee, antique papers, fibers, and fractured glass are just a few of the materials encapsulated in these works. Amber will speak both about process and her practice as well as giving an insight into the wordless storytelling that stems from a background in a multitude of unspoken artforms.
Reservations are encouraged to attend in person as space is limited.
Please RSVP by contacting owner/director, Bianka at Souterrain Gallery (located below The Wish House): #860.672.2969 or emailing: wishhouse@optonline.net or, the artist Amber Maida: #203.278.3434 or emailing: amber@ambermaida.com
Details and directions can be found on the Souterrain Gallery website: www.souterraingallery.net or The Wish House website: www.wishhouse.com and, a brief art film as well as past collections of Amber Maida’s work can be viewed at: www.ambermaida.com
Exhibit comes to a close on November 21 , 2021.
