ab ovo usque ad mala (from eggs to apples)
Ellen C. Gower – A Retrospective

at the Menino Arts Center and online in a 3D gallery

January 30 – March 6, 2023
Now extended through March 13!

Reception: Saturday, February 11, 330 – 530 pm

Curated by Holly Gower Boots, Ann Turley, Maria Luongo, Tamara Safford, Jane Estella, and MAC Curator Sasja Lucas.

The title of this exhibition and the corresponding catalogue, ab ovo usque ad mala (from eggs to apples), was once used by the artist, Ellen C. Gower, to describe a series of still life photographs she exhibited in 2005 and 2006. She explained at the time that “[t]he epigram refers to the Roman banquet (for us it would be soup to nuts), but it has acquired the connotations of from beginning to end, birth to death and alpha to omega. Eggs to apples runs the gamut of the human lifespan.” In light of this understanding, it was deemed an appropriate title for the present catalogue as well, which provides a retrospective window into Ellen’s artistic output over many decades, from oil paintings during her teenage years in the late 1950’s to pen and ink drawings during the years before her death in 2021.

In conjunction with the exhibits, there is also a catalogue of the works with images and text about Ellen’s process of art making that are not seen in the exhibits.

$25 per catalog.

Closing Reception: Sunday, November 6, 3 – 5 pm
with Longwood Symphony Trio

More info at https://violencetransformed.com.

A poem from the curators about the exhibition:
“When the art reveals the ignored and is about troubling times.
The image exposes problems
The truth bursts into color on canvas and into 3D
When the art celebrates affirmations, resilience and quiet.
Our voices join to find solutions
and our hope for the future endures.”

Thursday, October 20, 630 – 8 pm, with L’Merchie Frazier, TAP Director of Creative Engagement
Wednesday, November 2, 6 – 730 pm, with Barbara Hamm, TAP Co-Director

Family Portraits

As isolation set in during Covid, I made most of these paintings. My dad died a month before that fateful March weekend when many of us started to socially distance, an awkward phrase for a practice that runs counter to everything I believe is important. The paintings helped me grieve my dad and they brought to mind sweeter, closer family times.
