Atlantic Black Box

Meet the Artists working on Interco(a)stal

Corinna Dibble’s artistic practice spans painting, mixed media, carvings, and textiles. She explores themes of identity and our relationship with the natural world, uncovering hidden histories that shape our understanding of place and community.

Corinna is painting portraits based on research into the people enslaved by the Vaughan family of Hallowell, Maine. Her intention is to uplift and represent those who have been forgotten and to bring attention to Maine’s connection to the transatlantic slave trade.
She is constructing a sculptural mirror from driftwood, objects gathered from coastal Maine, and her carvings. Her work reimagines the traditional framing of history, inviting viewers to reflect on lost histories that shaped the present and connections that carry across time.

“My art is a way of following the unknown—finding threads of connection and giving shape to what I discover.”

Join us on October 18 in Bath, Maine to experience the work of our Artist Cohort in person! RSVP for this upcoming WHERE Walk at the link in our bio.
