Face-to-face: poetry and art

Posted

CALLICOON, NY — Members of the Upper Delaware Writers Collective (UDWC) will perform at Café Devine, 33 Lower Main St., in conjunction with artist Nancy Wells’ exhibit of mixed media works, “Visage: State of Being,” on Sunday, August 2 at 3 p.m.

The poets will read on a variety of themes, and some poems will center on the faces in Wells’ exhibit, which were created over an extended period of time in which she worked in painting, printmaking, digital collage and drawing. These renderings of visages evoke the complex working of emotion through contrast, color, texture and subtle harmonies of shape, and express the processes of being and becoming.

Wells is also a photographer, sculptor, doll-maker and poet. She is a member of UDWC and was a nominee for the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Women’s Caucus for Art. She has exhibited her artwork in Puerto Rico, Russia, Germany, Brazil, Sweden, Spain, Korea and Alaska and extensively in the northeastern United States.

“Visage” will be on display until September 7. A closing reception will be held on Friday, August 28.
