Take that or a drought

“Flood St. Francisville, La.,’’ by Lois Dodd, in the show “American Conversations,’’ at the Ogunquit (Maine) Museum of American Art, in the show “American Conversations,’’ through Nov. 15.

The museum says:

“A defining feature of the exhibition is its evolving nature. Throughout its run, pairings will shift regularly—whether by substituting one work to reframe the other or by introducing entirely new conversational pairs. This approach mirrors the fluidity of conversations shaping American art and life, emphasizing that the meaning of ‘America’ is neither static nor singular.’’

The museum explains that exhibition “showcases the fiber art of Liam Lee. Lee uses hand-dyed and needle-felted wool to explore, as he writes, the ‘breakdown in differences between interior and exterior, the man-made and the natural world.”’
