“Never on Sunday”: Kathleen Sawyer
\n7-18 June 2016<\/h2>\n

“Never on Sunday” is a gathering of 150 small, hand-built collages. Cut and paste of a delicate imperfect nature using a process closely resembling kindergarten art, but made while drinking large cups of grown-up hot stuff.<\/p>\n

Kathleen Sawyer says about her work:
\nWhen I was a little girl and was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I don’t think I said “I want to be an artist.” Most likely, I said “mermaid.” Later in my on-again, off-again affair with higher education, I imagined myself being a curator or travel writer. Now years later, my art heroes are mostly undiscovered ones and my travel writing has become bathtub reading.<\/p>\n

Many years ago, I started making collage cards and sending them to family and friends on New Year’s Eve. My son, Chris, thought these should be shared with people outside our small world. At age 14, he sold his guitar and gave me the money for the first printing. In 2001, we started Local Wisdom Cards, a small Vermont company with six designs. When I sold the company in 2013 and moved to Maine, they had been sold in over seven hundred museums and brick and mortar shops across the United States and abroad.<\/p>\n

My materials are the same ones I used in kindergarten. I probably still should not eat my paste or run with scissors. I have abandoned the safe career path to live the second half of my life in the hopeful unknown.<\/p>\n
