Hanni Woodbury: On To The Next Thing

A Collection of Works Curated by Robert Shreefter & Susie Nielsen

On view February 15 - March 10, 2025

On February 22nd, Woodbury will join Robert Shreefter for an artist talk in the gallery. Shreefter is a printmaker and artist, an artist-educator, curator and former gallery director based in Wellfleet and Brooklyn, MA.

Trained as a musician and linguist, artist and printmaker Hanni Woodbury is no stranger to abstraction. “Making abstract images on plates is a pleasing way of thinking for me. The challenge of trying to achieve in non-representational art the aesthetic clarity that is found in music is a constant, informing my efforts as a printmaker.”

In her upcoming exhibition at Farm Projects, curators Rober Shreefter and Susie Nielsen bring together a collection of Woodbury’s prints which highlight the broad scope of her practice, which ranges from woodblock and intaglio, to relief and monotype methods. Regardless of the technique, Woodbury’s compositions transform simple shapes into rhythmic, resonant abstractions.

About the Artist. Hanni Woodbury was born in Hamburg, Germany, emigrating to the US with her family just after the second world war. She studied music at Bard College and the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music and earned a B.A. in Anthropology at Vassar College, and an M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Anthropology, with a specialty in Anthropological Linguistics, at Yale University. Her area of interest as a linguist is the description, documentation, and revitalization of Native American languages, especially the Iroquoian family of languages which she has studied for more than 40 years. Her training in the graphic arts began more recently. She studied with a number of artists in New England, most notably, Brian Cohen, Marty Epp, Catherine Farish, Betsey Garand, Elizabeth Mayor, Peter Pettengill, Vicky Tomayko and Bert Yarborough, in classes at AVA Gallery in Lebanon, NH, at the Two Rivers Printmaking Studio in White River Junction, VT, at the Truro (MA) Center for the Arts, and at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout New England. Woodbury was one of the founding members of the Two Rivers Printmaking Studio and has participated in portfolio projects, copies of which now form a part of numerous private and public collections, including the Hood Museum of Art in Hanover, New Hampshire and the Currier Gallery of Art in Manchester New Hampshire, and the Berry Special Collections Library at the University of Vermont.

Murrow Award for Radio Writing for his weekly radio commentaries on WCAI.

Monthly Exhibit of Outer Cape Contemporary Artists

Laura Shabott - On Display throughout March

Artist Reception: Sunday, March 9th - 3:00 - 5:00 PM

Curated by Robert Rindler

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

 My paintings, drawings and collage begin by observing a model or still life and responding or reacting to their essence. I ask myself: Is a life force or spark evident in the painting, drawing or collage I am creating? Does the composition of the piece, its simplest parts, work? And, how does color, shape and form push, pull and pulsate on a two dimensional surface? Paintings are made with walnut oil paint and pigment sticks, collages are built from my repurposed figure drawings and paintings, and I draw with charcoals of varying densities on paper.

 Through my work as an arts writer, an assistant at Berta Walker Gallery, a teacher and lecturer, I honor and continue the legacy of Provincetown’s art colony. The influence of the teachers and artists who came before me is infused into my art as I come into my own and grow visually. 

ARTIST’S BIO 

Laura Shabott is a graduate of School of Museum of Fine Arts at TUFTS, Boston. Her paintings, collages and drawings have been exhibited regionally in solo, juried and invitational shows at Berta Walker Gallery, Provincetown; Cape Cod Museum of Art, Dennis, MA; Ely Center for Contemporary Arts, New Haven, CT; Four Eleven Gallery, Provincetown; Provincetown Art Association and Museum, (PAAM); Provincetown Monument and Museum (PMPM); Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, Truro.

Vernal pools are unique wildlife habitats best known for the amphibians and invertebrate animals that use them to breed. Vernal pools, also known as ephemeral pools, autumnal pools, and temporary woodland ponds, typically fill with water in the autumn or winter due to rainfall and rising groundwater and remain ponded through the spring and into summer. It is an essential seasonal habitat for many, species from salamanders to wood frogs and many other species. Join Joy Marzolf from the Joys of Nature and learn about these seasonal pools and the many creatures that might inhabit them during the year.

Joy Marzolf loves to share her knowledge about wildlife, wildlife photography, and nature in general. In addition to a BA in Biology, she has been doing a variety of animal-related education programs in her professional life for over 20 years.

We'll begin with an introductory exploration of the species betore diving into the threats to their survival-and how Cape Cod whalers trom the 1700s-1800s have helped current researchers learn about this species pre-industrialization. Come with questions and leave with art to share with other ocean-enthusiasts.

Tommy Tucker (they/them) grew up in Southeast Texas along the Gulf of Mexico. They fell in love with the ocean and marine life and moved away to study whales only to learn that the Gulf of Mexico is home to a whale species found only in those waters. Tommy moved to Cape Cod two years ago to work for the Center for Coastal Studies and has spent time out on Cape Cod Bay photographing right whales and working with fishermen to sample biodiversity and collect derelict fishing gear, in Duck Harbor taking sediment cores with fellow researchers and high schoolers, and in the intertidal zone collecting boring sponges and barnacles.

Inspired by the true story of the 1990 robbery of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Filmed entirely on Cape Cod.

This presentation will discuss three research projects of mine that address biodiversity in restored salt marshes. It will give an overview of salt marsh restoration in New England and discuss how current restoration activities are impacting often un-considered aspects of biodiversity like genetic diversity. The three projects will traverse three disparate disciplines; fundamental ecology, population genetics, and social science.

Katie Sperry (she/her) is an ecologist with an interest in restoring coastal ecosystems. She has a BA in Biology and a PhD in Marine and Environmental Science and has spent the last decade researching how to best conserve and restore the habitats people enjoy and rely upon. She has a special interest in species and places that are commonly overlooked, like grasses and swampy marshes.

Pond Hill School

Alice Di Micele is an Americana/Folk artist, rooted in the natural world, using the earth as her primary source of inspiration, threading its essence into her music. Alice’s connection to nature has created a deep bond with her listeners over the decades, gifting people a safe space to express their emotions and heal in the process. Throughout her career, she has released a staggering 17 albums, including her latest works ‘Every Seed We Plant’ and ‘Interpretations: Vol 1’, building a dedicated fanbase along the way.

Alice Di Micele weaves a rich tapestry of sounds, from the early days of her folk-inspired songs, through to the sensual influences of jazz and soul, and the energetic pulse of funk and rock. Her kaleidoscopic soundscape is grounded by her warm, magnetic vocals. From rich deep tones to impressive high notes, and gorgeous Joni Mitchell-esque vibrato inflexions, Alice’s vocals stretch over five octaves, giving her voice both power and intimacy.

Alice’s story began as a singer, first in her school choir and later as a teenager in a local rock band. But her life took a new direction after watching David Grisman Quintet perform at Carnegie Hall. Inspired by the show, she called her band’s guitarist that same night and asked him to teach her guitar, determined to become a writer herself. And so, her lifelong love affair with songwriting began.

1988 would see the release of Alice Di Micele’s debut album ‘Make A Change’, which was followed by many years of touring and performances at festivals and music venues from the Strawberry Music Festival to Fineline Music Cafe in Minneapolis. Her time on the road has been an extraordinary one, sharing the stage with the likes of legends such as Bonnie Raitt and Joan Baez to Arlo Guthrie, and even the man who sparked it all, David Grisman. Throughout this, she has remained a true independent musician, releasing and touring her music without the help of a record label or management, instead focusing on her audience and building a loyal following.

Salome

Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts his first Met performances of Strauss’s white-hot one-act tragedy, which receives its first new production at the company in 20 years. Claus Guth, one of Europe’s leading opera directors, gives the biblical story—already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde’s play—a psychologically perceptive, Victorian-era setting rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light. Headlining the new staging is soprano Elza van den Heever as the abused and unhinged antiheroine, who demands the head of Jochanaan, sung by celebrated baritone Peter Mattei. Tenor Gerhard Siegel is Salome’s lecherous stepfather, King Herod, with mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife, Herodias, and tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
