Vox clamantis in deserto
‘Vessel for memory’
“The Escapist” (wood, steel, acrylic, paper, brass, polystyrene), by Seth Clark, in the show “Home Sweet, Somewhere,’’ at the Lamont Gallery, Exeter, N.H., Sept. 1-Nov. 21.
The gallery explains that this is a “contemporary exploration of the spaces we call home.’’ The architecture around us becomes a “vessel for memory, emotion, and our subconscious.’’ The nuanced layers of the spaces we occupy “create a sense of being lived in as they simultaneously mirror and extend into our identities over time. While everyone understands ‘home’ differently, the feelings we invest in our surroundings are something we can all connect with.’’
