03. Artists: Eli Pasternak & Kai Potter

Title: Wind Maps

Location: 3 W. Main Street (corner of Holbrook & Main Street-outside at Sick Day)

Wind Maps are drawings made by the wind. A line is hung from a tripod, a sail attached to feel the wind, and a drawing instrument hung at the lines end. Left out for hours or day, a detailed, delicate record of the wind’s movements is made visible.

about the artists: Kai and Eli were brought together by the wind; they met surfing a fated south swell at a little known break somewhere in Rhode Island. Kai is a Wellfleet native, surfer, artist, writer, and landscape designer. He has traveled extensively, and his love for the Outer Cape has always bought him back home. Eli is a surfer, and academic writer who works as a geriatric neuropsychologist in Boston; she made her way from Long Island, NY to coastal New England to join her love of surfing with her academic pursuits. Since meeting, they have expanded one and another’s experience and perception of what it means to play in the realms of art and nature

UMBRA, PENUMBRA, ANTUMBRA: The parts of a shadow that are defined by where light lands. The depth of their darkness reveals the relationship between light, space and place. 

about the artist:

As an interdisciplinary artist, Milisa Moses combines photography, design, plant growing and (plant)alchemy to document time, space, and light. Her work is facilitated by an awe of sacred geometry, celestial cues, and patterns in nature.

Milisa has taught at The Museum School at the Provincetown Art Association, Castle Hill in Truro, and out of her former shop/studio space, Plant Work Shop on Cape Cod. She has been invited to Remodelista Market New York and Boston, and her work as a maker has been featured in Gardenista, Design New England Magazine, Edible Cape Cod Magazine, and the Provincetown Independent.

07. Artist: Sarah Dineen

Title: Keyhole

Location: Wellfleet Preservation Hall, backyard

Portal, acrylic on canvas 72 x 60 inches. 

Keyholes, portals, ancient monuments, outerspace, and underwater. Mysterious places and things we can't ever know are where my interest lies for exploring painting ideas.

08. Artist: Grace Emmet

Title: Star Obscurer 

Location: Isabel Souza Studio, 313 Main Street (downstairs)

Medium: digital animation on cyanotype 

The majority of songbirds make their migrations under nightfall, navigating thousands of miles by reading the stars and moonlight. This looping projection depicts the light pollution caused by artificial lighting that disorients birds, causing them to circle endlessly and deplete finite energy needed to complete their journey. 

about the artist: Grace Emmet is an eco-artist, educator, and the Curator of Community Education at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. Grace’s place-based practice is dependent on an intimate relationship with the land and implements sustainable habits through foraging and natural ink making. Grace lives year-round on the beautiful nook of Outer Cape Cod where she is equally fond of being out on the beach and deep in the pine forests in search of seashells, mushrooms, and surprises.

Artist: Sarah Bird

Location: Wellfeet Town Hall, 300 Main Street

Title: Trees in Place/A Strategy for Noticing

Physicists reveal to us what the careful observer already knows: light changes its form depending on the mode of observation. The art of noticing does something similar: what is revealed with an attunement to noticing what is already there? In this projection project I filmed the action of car headlights making silhouettes through the spruce trees of Town Hall, like a magic lantern from the early days of cinema. The lights of cars passing during the projection will layer themselves on the film I made in the place, revealing the beauty of what is already there. 

about the artist: Sarah Bird is an interdisciplinary artist-researcher whose work focuses on relationships with trees in the more-than-human world at a time of ecological crisis. Her work focuses on tree relationality, including attunement to place, awe and affect, and multiple temporalities for an entangled, restorative future. Sarah is a Ph.D candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz in Film and Digital Media where she is a Fellow of the Climate Action Lab. 

In 2024 Bird created a public art event in San Francisco titled Being/Tree in which the true-scale form of a California coast redwood tree was projected in light on San Francisco’s Ferry Building. This work seeks to create experiences of recognition between humans, the built environment, and the world of plants, our planet's originary infrastructure. Her exhibition Trees/Place is on view until 2025 at Justus Liebig University GCSC in Giessen, Germany.

Her work is featured in Giants Rising (dir. Lisa Landers, 2024), a feature documentary about redwoods and their human champions. She has a BA from Amherst College and an MFA from California College of the Arts. She is based in Mill Valley, CA and Wellfleet, MA.

13. Artist: Thomas Iacobucci

Title: Dunes’ Edge 

Location: Mid Cape Hardware, 30 Commercial Street

Dunes’ Edge takes place amongst a region slowly receding to the sea. Exacerbated by the effects of climate change and human impact, the images depicted are an elegy to the Outer Shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where the onslaught of coastal erosion has been a yearly constant. Carefully crafting photographs alongside the landscape, combined with my familial archive, this work acts as a tool for memory, examining the periphery as what once was and what is. 

Utilizing film as a fleeting object/material, a selection of the negatives exposed become degraded through an intentional process. This is done in a controlled environment, where the film is soaked in ocean water and sand for the length of a full-tidal cycle. What occurs is a deterioration, allowing the relationship between the elements and the eroding coastline to appear within the film's damaged emulsion. Just as the eroding coast can reveal remnants of the past, the altered film can unveil nature's burgeoning unpredictability. 

about the artist: Thomas O’Connor Iacobucci (1995) is a lens-based artist currently based in Brooklyn, NY. He graduated with an MFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design at The New School in 2023 and his work has been exhibited in New York, Florida, and China.

Iacobucci's photographs are primarily rooted in his familial legacies and the uncertainty that lies within the deteriorating climate. His work unveils the complexities of impact caused by humanity in the age of the Anthropocene, while his photographic process relies on intentional unpredictability. Reckoning simultaneously with the future and the past, Iacobucci's images reveal temporal moments, physically eroded away. By recasting these scenes, his work acts as a tool for memory, examining the periphery as what once was and what is.

15. Artist: Bob Henry

Title: Lessons

Location: BHA Gallery, 42 Commercial Street

These are short videos demonstrating various techniques and materials that I have used in the creation of my works. They serve to visually demonstrate what otherwise might be obscure in the writing.

The videos are mentioned in my book, For Artists and Art Lovers a handbook, by Bob Henry 

about the artist: As a figure painter, Robert Henry is most interested in groups of figures in relation to one another and how they interact. He explores the possibilities through drawing. Art critic April Kingsley said in The Village Voice, "Henry-watching is always a fascinating activity." And Henry himself has said, while acknowledging that he knows a consistent signature style is good for the business of art, "I hate to repeat myself." Every season brings a new Robert Henry adventure. Within each series, details mutate slightly from scene to scene, suggesting a linked narrative, time passing as he moves from one medium to another, one idea to another.

This short film, featuring music and editing by Ron Harrity, builds upon the illustrations I created for my 2019 artist’s book, Iceblink.

Through the artist’s book, I was interested in examining popular views of Arctic regions in depression-era United States through evocative imagery culled from one explorer’s personal papers. But I was also interested in playing with the mechanics of storytelling to find experimental narrative forms. I am excited about how this translation of that project injects tension, emotion, and action in new ways. I look forward to using sound and animation in conjunction with more printmaking and book projects in the future.
