Had the honor to witness Amy Stacey Curtis responding to her beloved mill in Lewiston yesterday. Love it is.
“Joanne Arnold took this photograph of me yesterday at Bates Mill in Lewiston, Maine, site for my 1st and 9th solo biennials. Although we were there together, I didn't know she had seen me, was seeing me. I missed the smell of the oil in the floor, missed how far away the end of the bay was, missed sweeping the floor. I had no idea I could hug the mill until I did it, nor how much I needed to, no idea it could hug me back.”
