Fieldwork Week Nine: Bound Brook Island

    Thanks again to Ryan for the great photo!   We went on the road again and did the road -woods-road loop at Bound Brook Island. It’s no secret how much I love Bound Brook, and I’m always happy to share it’s geography and history with new people.   On the walk we saw the Herring River restoration at Duck Harbor, the Baker-Biddle House, the Hatch House, Bound Brook Beach and circled back to where we parked at the Atwood-Higgins House (although we were tired enough that we didn’t walk down that path!).   A few resources for visiting Bound Brook Island:    An Island in Time: Wellfleet’s Bound Brook Island, by Sharon Dunn   The Herring River watershed reclamation project   The Baker-Biddle property   The Atwood-Higgins House   A reflection on the Lombard Graves   …   Fieldwork Saturdays in Wellfleet: Organized by Pete Hocking & AMZehnder Gallery   This summer, we’re inviting creative people — including visual artists, photographers, writers, and others — to join us for community fieldwork sessions in Wellfleet on Saturday afternoons from 2:30 – 5 PM. This is not a workshop and there will be no instructor. Spending time in a place, looking deeply, taking notes, and allowing the place to soak into memory allows one to bring meaningful experience into the studio — and to ultimately work more intuitively.  The sessions are also designed to strike up conversation and relationships among Outer Cape artists. You’re invited to look, to draw, to paint, to photograph, to take notes, to write — and especially to connect with other creative people in our incredible community. These sessions are free and you’re welcome to join us as your schedule permits. Come for one session or all sessions!    We’ll meet at AMZehnder Gallery at 25 Bank Street at 2:30 PM on Saturday and we’ll conclude the start of Gallery Night at 5 PM.    Questions?
