Rose Marasco Domestic Objects: Past and Presence

Rose Marasco Domestic Objects: Past and Presence

---

The University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor will be exhibiting photographs by Maine artist Rose Marasco, September 24 through January 8. This exhibition brings together ten years of Marasco’s large-format color photographs in which she chronicles the actual and symbolic significance of everyday household objects. The images range from common, utilitarian items to personal, hand-crafted items: from clothespins in a variety of shapes and sizes and rolling pins that echo the curves of landscapes to buttons stitched in patterns, quilt blocks pieced together with newspaper backings, and diaries.

Rose Marasco is a Professor of Art at the University of Southern Maine. This exhibition, sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Fannie E. Gray Educulture Fund, will travel to the University of Maine at Farmington before concluding its tour of select cultural institutions throughout Maine.
