Local Artist Displays "Compostmodernism" Work
L. Jamie Ormiston, local artist, graduate of Southern Cayuga Central
Schools and the University of Maine, has an exhibit of his artwork on
the lower level of Long Library. The exhibit will run from
February 2nd to March 7th, 2010.
In the words of the artist, “All you see here is my hand work, with
varying degrees of digitization. When asked a few days ago
how I would describe my art I flippantly answered ‘compostmodernism’,
but on reflection, this seemed comfortably apt. Baudelaire
& O’Hara, Picasso & Giotto, the nearness of the remote,
a nostalgia for a future all broken down into a rich loam. So
I also welcome, if not embrace, the folkloric connotations of compost
& allowing this whatever free play in my work.”
Please come by and “relish his wandering path”.

Photography Exhibit, The
Literary Horse: When Legends Come to Life, On Parade
Black Beauty lives at the end of Main Street and Pegasus takes wing
from a pasture not far from Peachtown Elementary School in a new
internationally touring equestrian photography exhibit. The exhibit
pairs up to 100 photos of today’s horses and
riders with quotations from the world’s great books. According to the
artist, equine photographer Vanessa Wright, “From Achilles’ weeping
chargers to Don Quixote’s Rocinante, the horses of myth and literature
are alive and thriving in our neighborhoods!” Showcasing
first-time riders through Special Olympic and Olympic champions, and
equestrian disciplines ranging from carriage driving and show-jumping
to jousting and vaulting (gymnastics on horseback), The
Literary Horse
will provide students with a real-life tour of equestrian
classics.--from Press Release
The exhibit will be on display from October 5 – November 5, 2009 at
the Long Library, Wells College. The exhibit is free and open to the
public. An artists’ reception will be held on October 5th at
