Opening Reception: Roz Park “A Collection of Work”

The Jaffrey Civic Center is very excited to share with the public ‘A Collection of Work’ by Roz Park. This exhibition will run September 26– November 1. There will be an opening reception on Friday, September 26 from 5 – 7 pm with light refreshments, drinks, and a chance to meet and converse with the artist!

Roz Park lives in an upstairs apartment that she also uses as her studio. “I like living closely with the things that I make and collect. My environment determines the size of what I can do, I might make large assemblages living in a large space!” Living in N.YC. in the 70’s and 80’s as a young person, was the education that Park had been looking for, coming from a small New England town. Assemblage and collage, but also painting, whatever the materials, hopefully reveals something that is worth sharing. For her, beauty is an antidote to all that is difficult. Park says, “I like the photographer Robert Adams’ comment, “Even though art is always imperfect, successful art rediscovers beauty for us.”
