artspace’s 13th annual city-wide open studios
WELCOME
DEAR FRIENDS OF ARTSPACE:
We’ve all heard how the arts are in crisis nationwide, and certainly in our
own community, nonprofits have been hit by drastic funding cutbacks.
It’s a tough time for artists too, with sales down and day jobs harder to
come by. Yet we are heartened and moved by the many artists who carry
on, whose urge to create is undiminished. All over greater New Haven,
hundreds of artists are finding ways, despite the challenges we face, to share their
ideas with us. I know I speak for all our city’s art lovers when I express my profound
gratitude to all the artists who stepped forward this year, in the spirit of hope and
solidarity, to invite us in to the intimate and solitary spaces of their studios.
This year, I am excited to be back at Artspace, presenting an expanded City-Wide
Open Studios offering multiple weekends settings for exploring and interacting with
artists. I am thrilled to revive the Alternative Space, the found space that artists trans-
form with temporary installations, which makes CWOS unlike any other Open Stu-
dios in the country. A warm thank-you to our Alternative Space host Centerplan De-
velopment and to the organization developing the space, Coop Center for Creativity.
Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about pop-up shops, ephemeral museums and no-
madic galleries. Well, New Haven pioneered the pop-up art space back in 1998, with
the first Alternative Space! As CWOS moves into its second decade, I am proud to
return to this fearless, risk-taking, wandering space. Such open, innovative proj-
ects have made New Haven a magnet for visual artists from around the State and for
those fleeing high costs in NYC and Boston. As you take the time to discover how
these artists are developing their practice here, I know your explorations will be
richly rewarded.
I warmly acknowledge the friends of Artspace, my hard working colleagues, the
Artspace Visual Arts Committee and Board, our tireless volunteers and, of course,
our artists. Thank you for pitching in to present this year’s festival and prove how
much New Haven treasures its artists and their art.See you in the studios!

DEAR FRIENDS:
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to New Haven to take part in the
13th edition of the City Wide Open Studios festival. This annual event
celebrates the extraordinary talent and breadth of our visual arts commu-
nity and the myriad of spaces enlivened by its creative output. I am proud
that we serve as home to so many creative individuals who recognize New
Haven to be a supportive community with access to affordable housing and workspaces and
opportunities to work in the arts industry and other creative fields, all of which in turn en-
riches our city.
As you explore our neighborhoods, I hope you encounter new artists, rediscover artists
you met in previous years and stumble upon friends also engaged in this unique treasure
hunt. Please come back to New Haven to experience all it has to offer throughout the year.
Congratulations to Artspace and to all the artists who are opening their doors. See you
at the grand opening.
John DeStefano, Jr., mayor
DEAR FRIENDS:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to 2010 City-Wide Open Studios, an ex-
traordinary visual arts event now in its 13th year. A dazzling array of work
by hundreds of greater New Haven artists awaits your discovery in venues
throughout the city—at Erector Square, in private studios, and at an ex-
citing “alternative” space at Coop Center for Creativity. For three con-
secutive fall weekends, City-Wide Open Studios offers an incredible opportunity to engage
in conversations with artists who normally work in solitude, to view work produced through-
out the year, and to rediscover historic spaces now converted to support our creative capital.
The Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism is proud to have supported CWOS
since its inception over a dozen years ago. We applaud event organizer, Artspace, for its
unwavering commitment to local artists and for recognizing the power of the arts to rein-
vigorate cities and improve the quality of life for its citizens. We also acknowledge program
sponsors for their vital role in sustaining this remarkable event and all the participating
artists whose creativity contributes to Connecticut’s rich cultural landscape.

It’s based on the idea that, up until a few centuries ago,
art was bad engineering or used to solve problems, like
insuring fertility, good crops, and a place in heaven. I

My art reflects my ongoing interest in the illusion of
forms in nature and the ways forms change in light and
space. I often use layering of materials in ways that
become metaphors for what are natural and unnatural
processes. In much of my work over the last few years I
have used silk, paper and synthetic fabrics which have
been altered with heat, wax, pigment, and various items
both manmade and natural.

My process in creating art is essentially similar to
writing a memoir. My round sculptures and mixed
media paintings and collages represent my inner feel-
ings. They demonstrate my interaction with the world
around me—from the natural environment, to social
consciousness, to everything in between. I organically
shift between media to give voice to my ideas, select-
ing the medium that best allows me to develop my
thoughts and observations.

I am interested in combining printmaking with sculpture
and in using natural/found objects to do so. My work
often involves pasting prints to salvaged wood, old win-
dows, and bark. These recent works may be divided into
two series: the imagining of various landscapes riddled
with human creations as they become more natural than
nature, itself and the oceanic city-like clusters forming
around deep sea vents.

My copper plate etchings are mainly subjects from
nature. I enjoy the challenge that birds, animals and
insects present when trying to convey a detailed sense
of feathers, fur or exoskeletons. My focus is strictly
on the subjects, so often I present them in solitude to
emphasize their individual character and essence.  like origami, one of the first questions asked. It is an
individual interpretation on the part of the audience. My
photographic subjects tend to be among the overlooked,
the organic or inorganic items that surround us.

The installations are extensions of the dialogue between the
physical and the ethereal. Drawing becomes the essence of
each piece, transforming the everyday association of textiles
into an embodiment of spiritual strength. The textiles’ now
sculptural quality contradicts their previously passive state.
The lace transcends its original purpose and embraces both
growth and decay, giving and receiving, slipping away yet
transforming into something new.

Paper Sculpture is a marriage of art and craft. It is not
art form all its own. I create in paper because of the
challenge of taking a 2D drawing and turning it into a 3D
sculpture with a medium as common as paper. “That’s
paper???” is one of the first questions asked. “Yes.” I
answer. I feel a bit like a magician or conjurer.

“What is that?” is one of my favorite responses when
someone looks at my photographs. I try to capture an
question what they see. Close-up of a flower: Is it
nature or a manmade structure? Reflections: Is it
altered reality or an unresolved enigma? Shapes and
shadows: Is it convex or concave?

I love what spawns in the friction between what I want
the material to do and what it would rather do. The
unintended result, often misread as a mistake and so
dismissed, is one of the most fertile sources of new
ideas. The trick is not to fool with the material’s inherent
desire to be expressive. I’m intrigued by what happens
when clay is rolled, stretched, pressed, incised, inlayed,
extruded, bent, cut and put back together.

innovator, I use flexible plastic sheets instead of using
the usual single rectangular Plexiglas plate. Different
shapes and patterns are cut from this plastic. For
some of the stencils, I utilize a rotary tool that adds
additional texture. Usually between 2-10 shaped plates
are used which I then lay down on the press bed and
print per single pass of the press.

As a graduate student, I found ninety pounds on the

art under a teacher who valued fine draughtsmanship,
describing modern art as something “perpetrated”
against the public. I learned painting in watercolor from
Ann Lindsay and Judi Betts, drawing from Tina Re and

I started painting as a way of approaching the spiritual
through an act of creation. Finding the higher power is
like trying to find the perfect line – spiritual perfection
can be attempted, surrounded, sketched and stroked,
almost never achieved; but the central trut—the perfect
line—can be suggested to the imagination. Like the core
works are in nature mystical and metaphysical.

In spite of the change of process and evolution of images,
my commitment to communicate my personal vision
of the world in a manner that will impact on the viewer

curves of form, juxtapositions of color, and movement
that motivated me in the making of the work. I struggle

Light has always dominated my paintings. I’ve been ex-
ploring the natural and artificial light at various times
of day and various conditions. Using architecture as
a foil, I examine color as it exists in the light that’s
present. During the evening, natural and artificial light
can offer great contrasts and subtle tonal effects.

The place between the artwork and the viewer is
ambiguous territory—where many meanings exist
simultaneously. I like work that flirts with that territory
and the artist/viewer relationship. The “viewer” partici-
pates in an active role and becomes a collaborator with
the artist. The art object becomes a surrogate for the
artist by creating a situation that balances autonomy
and connectedness. This tension makes the experience
different for everyone bringing their own point of view to
the work.

Based on observations of nature, I use the process of
printmaking to transform images into installations of
unusual juxtapositions. Some images dance across
angular wood reliefs, while others are printed onto

and energy, inviting the viewer to explore the singularity
of forms and see into surprising new spaces.

photography as a “Zen Art,” emphasizing attempts to
escape the rational mind and to capture shots from the

Here is the challenge: be brave, struggle to build a

surprising place, accept an art of rough approximation,
of free-improvisation, where careful measurements may
be entirely inappropriate. If successful, the paintings
will make visual what is within. Improvisation is essen-

My working method involves both digital means and

research material are programmatically combined using
a digital collage technique of my creation. With these
computer generated templates as a starting point, an
image evolves, serially, with printed matter being altered
by subjective physical performance. This mechanism of
production allows elements of chance (the voice of the
medium) to co-exist with painterly choices.

experience and the one that follows it. The origin
of our awareness oscillates between the body and
our vision, so our moments of perception take on
discontinuities, shifts in the point of origin, unhinging
moments of perception, creating fragmented narra-

within our experiences.

the American Luminist painters in the mid-nineteenth
century, but within a contemporary, minimalist frame-

I focus on changing skies, my work involves knowing
how to photograph skies and the colors reflected in
the landscape, and then composing a painting from
that information in my studio. In this regard, what I do
has also recorded a changing world.

WATERCOLOR
SEPT 25-26, ERECTOR SQUARE
I have been painting for about 15 years,almost always
in transparent watercolor I love to experiment with
color and pattern. My work ranges from landscapes to
abstract mostly using the natural world as my inspira-
tion. Since I enjoy photography as well, I use my camera
as a memory device as well as a tool for composition.

Art is the individual expression during the process of
getting from a blank ground to a finished work of art.
The finished piece is not the final destination, however.
There is another voyage once again from the start to
the finished. The finished product is really never the
end result. It is only an experience to be applied to
the next voyage, eliminating what did not work and
carrying forward that which did.

SEPT 25-26, ERECTOR SQUARE
As an artist and photographer, my work reflects my
surroundings in minute detail. My photographs evolve
into photo-collages of dense, reconstructed land-
scapes speaking of history, humanity, and our place
in it. The collages then metamorphose into drawings
of objects creating an optical play of visual depth,
challenging perspectives and fictionalized worlds.

I am primarily a jewelry designer, but I also work in
fabric, yarn, and abstract marbling on paper. I am
continuing my line of “Art Is Healthy” t-shirts that
are each hand-painted. While getting my Master of
Arts in Religion at Yale Divinity School, I investigated
the similarities between the creative experience and
the religious experience. I find that making things is
meditative and absorbing like nothing else.
161 PAUL THERIAULT
DIGITAL WEB-BASED, MIXED MEDIA
OCT 2, 198 SHERMAN AVE
My work engages in processes that are digitally-based
in addition to pieces of a tactile nature. I often com-
bine these two divergent mediums through a process
most adequately described as recycling, wherein an
object is constructed, photographed and digitized. In
keeping with this dialogue between found and recon-
structed objects and ethereal compositions of pixels
and datum, I allow for further confluence by utilizing
printing techniques that create a sense of texture
within a two-dimensional space.

PEN, OCT 2, WEST COVE
These images come from sudden insights while in
nature or from the world of my dreams. Beginning
with a seed of emotion evoked from these experiences,
they grow into various forms using passionate color
and movement reflecting the energy and drama of
life and dream. Much of my work uses transpersonal
symbolism. My images come from what Jung calls the
“archetypal” realm of shared human consciousness.
80 ROBERT THOMAS
PHOTOGRAPHY
SEPT 25-26, ERECTOR SQUARE
I enjoy the camera’s ability to capture the moment and
reflect the vision of what I see. I’ve learned not just to
document but to apply the creative aspects of com-
position and the freedom offered with digital image
processing. My themes are inspired by the landscapes,
urban or rural, and the imagery captured in reflective
surfaces, weathered and worn structures, as well as
the beauty and fragility found in nature.

SEPT 25-26, ERECTOR SQUARE
Long before our present fiscal dilemma, I was preoccu-
pied by the world of numbers, money, credit and transac-
tions. I nursed a case of “Math Anxiety” through most
of my adult life. But there’s more: From collage pieces
decoding the fine print on contracts to beaded simu-
lacrum of our seductive plastic credit cards, through
fabric panels parroting the sloganeering of corporate
double speak, to filing my 2008 1040A in aesthetic form,
I have been wrestling with everything monetary.

My color photographs aim to examine the distance
between the ‘big picture’ and the ‘little things’ in life—the
banalities of our daily lives, and the sublime notions of
identity and existence. While the depictions of informa-
tion are unconventional, the truth and accuracy to the
illustrations are as valid as their traditional depictions.
This work is about creating order where we expect to find
randomness, and also hints that the minutiae around us is
capable of communicating much larger ideas.

My current project is to make large-scale prints to be
used as wallpaper and resemble wood paneling. I’m
using water formations as shapes to start from. The
design will be placed on a silk screen and then repeated
to fill large areas and give the feeling of wood panels.

My latest series, “Torn Trees” and “Our Environment”
explore my connection to nature. Lately, my compassion
for trees, and my concern for our oceans seem to be
affecting me in a grander sense. I’ve been troubled by the
abuse to our environment locally and globally. The way
we touch nature and interact with our environment, at
times tenderly, other times harshly in haste.

Sculptor Gar Waterman is a native of New England who
lives and works in New Haven, CT and Sargentville,
ME. His sculptures in stone, bronze, steel, and wood
examines the intricate dynamic that exists between
of architecture. Inspired by origins as diverse as bones,
insects, seeds, or life under the sea, the sculpture
celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the
materials found therein.

PAINT, SCULPTURE, OCT 3, 26A CLIFTON ST
A life in art is one of continual learning. I am always
occupied with the study of it. After years of non-
figurative painting, I recently returned to people and
places in my immediate environment. When I approach
my subject, I try to empty my mind and respond to
prompts from the subject, the painting, and from
within, always with an eye to simplifying shapes while
distilling colors and impressions. I view this work as
evidence of an interior dialog.

My mixed media assemblages merge traditional materials
and methods with digital techniques. I enjoy the ancient
art of papermaking equally with using the latest version
of Photoshop. Both handmade papers and digital collages
are combined with my drawings, richly textured painted
surfaces, and found objects to create my work.

SEPT 25-26, ERECTOR SQUARE
I paint for the dialogue. Making art is the manifest part
of an ongoing conversation. My immediate goal within
the picture space is to merge figurative moments with
personal geometric awareness. My exploration and
understanding of the relationships and identities of
point, line, and grid—although abstract (and often
duplicitous) ‘structures’ we impose on an organic
world - serve as starting points for work. Oil, wax,
graphite, and charcoal are vehicles of choice.

WHALLEY AVE, APT 4
Currently, I’m working on a series of soft sculptures
called Jemmanimals: a mix of aquatic sea creatures,
stylized anthropomorphic forms and cute-yet-
suspicious oddities. I find inspiration in the deep ocean
as well as land-dwelling mammals. In my struggle to
figure out where I fit in between “fine art” and “craft,”
I’m snuggled cozily in between, approaching each piece
with the meticulousness of a sculptor, and the mind of a
seamstress with some do-it-yourself zeal.

SEPTEMBER 25-26, ERECTOR SQUARE
Since the start of the U.S. military presence in Iraq, I
have been making artwork based on the plastic toy
soldiers that children have played with for generations.
The fact that there are toys of men holding guns, toys
about war, and about death for children interests me
immensely. To introduce the concept of war to children
in the form of a toy introduces them to it as something
fun, something to aspire to when they grow up.

SEPT 25-26, ERECTOR SQUARE
I am always taken by nature, be it in the beauty of a
mere flower or a grand landscape. Nature moves me
to take pause, transported to a sense of peace. Light,
form, shape, color, she does it effortlessly. I paint my
reaction to its beauty. I hope to affect the viewer with
my color sense. I have painted in acrylics, pastels and
now oils with graphite.
