LOCAL ARTIST JUDY COTTON PRESENTS SOLO EXHIBIT AT LYMAN ALLYN
Offering a mediation on global warming and the forces that threaten the natural world, local contemporary artist Judy Cotton will hold a solo show at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum over the next few months with a focus on water, glaciers, melting ice, and insect life.
“Hidden Water,” a multi-media exhibition, will take place within the museum and outside, over the 12 acres of museum grounds. Paintings and small sculptures, which will include sculpted nests, insects and water-focused installations, seek to engage viewers about a bevy of ecological concerns, primarily about water.
A resident of Lyme, Cotton is an internationally recognized artist who has had 35 solo shows and participated in over 70 group exhibits around the U.S. and worldwide. “Hidden Water” will be curated by the Museum of Arts and Design’s former curator and will run until November 11.
An opening reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at the museum. The reception is free for members, $10 for non-members. RSVP to (860) 443-2545, ext. 2129.
