Gilmanton Artist Julianne Morse
At Gilmanton Year-Round Library
The work of Gilmanton artist Julianne Morse will be displayed in the
Gilmanton Year-Round Library throughout the month of September. The
public is invited to meet the artist at a reception September 21,
1:30 - 3 pm.
Desert Mountain is a work by Gilmanton artist Julianne Morse,
September’s
Artist in the Library at Gilmanton Year-Round Library.
Julianne Morse of Gilmanton is September’s Artist in the Library at
the Gilmanton Year-Round Library. Her work will be displayed
throughout the month. The public is invited to meet the artist at a
reception on Saturday, September 21, 1:30 to 3 pm, at the Library on
NH Route 140 opposite the Gilmanton School.
Julianne Morse uses printmaking, hand-made paper, and collage to
explore images and metaphors with nature. Through her work she
investigates the history of people and places. Describing her work,
she says, “In thinking about a place, I think about all of the
different people, events, and history that have ‘composted’ to make
a place what it is now. When I make work about landscape, I like to
be conscious of the many different people, events, and history that
have influenced the modern landscape. It is a garden metaphor to
describe how we are all connected.”
Julianne teaches in the MFA, MAE, and BFA programs at New Hampshire
Institute of Art, and is the Heritage and Traditional Arts
Coordinator at the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts. She
received her Master of Fine Arts in printmaking and cultural
studies.
