My heart is so full. I had one of the best summers of my life, and have made new friends that I will love forever at Skowhegan. I never got to go to summer camp as a kid, and this was the best version of that experience I could ever ask for: to be in community with the most beautiful, talented freaks. Trying to quantify this experience is impossible. I feel so lucky that I got to meet all of these wonderful people. I got to swim and dance every damn day. I worked on ceramics and paintings and made frescos. I started UFO club. I taught a fermentation workshop and made the most delicious black berry soda from berries we picked. We did psychic experiments, drew together, did weird performances, played games. I am so lucky and grateful.

@skowheganart is a very special place and I am beyond grateful to have spent my summer there. I have so much crazy love for every single one of you who spent it with me. I don’t really know how to explain or describe my time there and honestly I find it a little overwhelming to reflect 🦅 but I’m just putting this here hoping more and more artists outside America can learn about this strange residency/art school/summer camp that still somehow exists despite all odds and apply! As I learnt about it from an instagram post just like this one :) 1 million hugs to everyone I miss u guys every day 💔

M Galleries presents “Stress Curves”: paintings by Jane Westrick and sculptures by Josh Araujo. Both artists use experiences of the absurd and performative aspects of life to improvise and create forms influenced by outside and inside forces. Westrick’s paintings depict dancers who push against the choreographed movements of ballroom dance, inviting fluid expressions of gender. Araujo’s sculptures use vaguely familiar language, color and material to play with the psychology of aesthetics and suggest new ways of seeing. Together, "Stress Curves" presents a type of truth in pageantry, a show of pomp in response to societal and material pressures.
