NARROW LANDS
PATTY DELUCA GALLERY
August 5-23, 2011
Reception
August 5 6-10pm
NARROW LANDS is an ongoing conversation between artists Deborah Martin and Quintan Ana Wikswo. Martin’s sea-bleached and dusty-colored paintings exist in intimate conversation with Wikswo’s spare, sensual text installations and assemblages, yielding poignant and often enticing portraits of Provincetown buildings and the women who live and love within them.
At the intersection of memory and disintegration lie the abandoned houses and structures of the “Narrow Lands” – an architectural geography of history and time along the Outer Cape. Along this thin spiral of land and water, the shifting of sand and silt and spray create inexorable change in natural terrain – a relentless force of transformation that likewise erodes, reclaims, and reconstitutes the people and structures of Provincetown.
Together, the works inhabit a uniquely Provincetown landscape, forming a powerful meditation on human erosion, transformation and renewal, and a powerful encounter with the Cape itself.
