Milisa Moses: Sun Writings

On view May 23-June 09, 2025

Reception: Saturday, May 24, 6-8pm

Artist Talk: with Sara Moran, Saturday, May 31, 6pm
 

Milisa Moses: Sun Writings showcases the interdisciplinary work of Milisa Moses, a process-based artist who blends printmaking, plant growing, and alchemy to explore the intersection of nature and time. The exhibition features Moses’ lumen prints—photographic works created by exposing silver-coated paper to sunlight. These prints capture the subtle effects of light and plant material over time, producing abstract patterns and colors that reveal the passage of time in nature. Of this work, the artist writes: “Nature is the artist for which I am the observer and recorder.”

Each piece in Sun Writings is a record of sunlight’s interaction with plants, minerals, and paper. By using elements like flowers, leaves, and iron, Moses creates prints that reflect the natural world and the patterns of light and growth. The work is a direct response to the cycles of the seasons, the movement of the sun, and the materials at hand, inviting audiences to bear witness to the forces around them.
 

About the Artist As a process based, interdisciplinary artist and gardener, Milisa Moses combines printmaking, plant growing and (plant)alchemy to document time, space, and light. Her work is facilitated by celestial cues, Fibonacci sequence, the dawn chorus: nature’s vernacular spoken through light and dark, pattern and sound. Currently the Curator of Museum Education at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Milisa has taught workshops across Cape Cod, including at The Museum School at the Provincetown Art Association, Castle Hill in Truro, and out of her former shop/studio space, Plant Work Shop. Her work has been exhibited in group shows with Zone7a Gallery in Provincetown, Alias Gallery in Orleans, and The Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and her light installation was part of Farm Projects, PROJECT/PROJECT, this past summer. Milisa has been invited to Remodelista Market New York and Boston, and has been featured in Gardenista, Design New England Magazine, Edible Cape Cod Magazine, and the Provincetown Independent. Milisa’a book, Ocean Effect, will be published by Timber Press in 2027.
