The exhibition 'Vessels of Experience' by Pat McCarthy showcases the integration of art and farming through seasonal transformations at his Catskill Mountains farm. McCarthy's work reflects a holistic approach, blending sculpture-making with agriculture and daily life, as he collaboratively gardens with his wife. The pieces, such as a baby crib woven from grapevines and a wood-burning stove adorned with ceramic mushrooms, evoke personal themes that resonate universally. Notably, the opening features farm-made cuisine and beverages, complementing the artistic narrative. Additionally, landscape paintings by Louis Somveille capture the farm's influence on McCarthy's work.
The four seasons are presented through the artist's experimentations at his upstate farm in the Catskill Mountains, merging sculpture, agriculture, and daily tasks.
Pat crafts poetic narratives from materials sourced from the landscape, where personal experiences intertwine with universal themes in his creations.
