Distant Objects by Barbara Milot Opening Soon

Distant Objects is a series of small constructions that combine photographs of cloud formations with three-dimensional elements made from wire, hardware and wood. Milot’s work suggests ways we attempt to tame and navigate the world around us in the face of uncontrollable elements such as air and water. Artist website: www.barbaramilot.com 

Distant Objects  opens July 5 and ends July 28. A reception with the artist is planned midway through the show to coincide with Third Thursday Night Out in Turners Falls on July 18. Nina's Nook is next to the Black Cow Burger Bar in Turners Falls at 125A Avenue A. Hours are Wed-Th 4-6 and Fri-Sat 1-6, or by appointment: 413.834.8800. Info: www.ninasnook.com

Installed and Beautiful. Many of these little gems are 4x4"--the size and detail are best appreciated in person. Most work retails at $45, with larger work priced at 70-75.

When we were reflecting on them yesterday at the shop, Barbara and I were struck by a certain similarity of scale and airy aesthetic with the poetry of e.e. cummings.

The work fits perfectly within the litte gallery

"Deja Vu"

"Suspension Bridge"

"Random Thoughts"

Don't miss the reception with Barabara Milot on Thursday evening July 18. There will be music and a surprise installation!

Next Thursday, July 18th I am raffling two wristbands (worth 30$) to the Upper Valley Music Fest that is happening on July 27th in Turners Falls. Your purchase at Nina's Nook that day from 4-8:30 pm enters you in the raffle, which will be drawn outside the store at 8:30! 
There will be music themed earrings for sale, and some nice brushed aluminum, adjustable guitar hangers for your wall, too!
