We all need more escape routes these days

“Escape Routes” (acrylic on canvas), by Marcia Santore, in her show “The Long View Paintings,’’ at the Belknap Mill Museum Riverside Gallery, Laconia, N.H., opening Sept. 2

The gallery explains:

“This exhibition draws on half-remembered, dreamed, or imagined places created by seen or unseen openings, indeterminate interior and exterior spaces, the questions raised of who might inhabit those spaces or what lies over the horizon, and the potential to tell or conceal multiple, unfolding stories.’’
