RIVER FLOODOil on linen

By Tom Maakestad of Marineon the St. Croix, Minn.

Tom Maakestad grew up in rural Northfield,Minn., into a family of artists who had farmersas neighbors. Today, he and his family reside inMarine on St. Croix and they vacation in DoorCounty, Wis. His landscapes speak of thecountryside familiar to him, as well as thesouthern Minnesota river valleys and farmlandwhere he spent his childhood. His attraction tothe land with its patterns and colors aid him incomposing paintings which leads the viewer in-to a rich and varied landscape.

Maakestad received his bachelor of arts de-gree from Luther College and continued hisstudies at the Minneapolis College ofArt andDesign. His work can be found in numerous pri-vate and corporate collections, including MayoClinic in Rochester, Minn., and the U.S. Em-bassy Residence in Oslo, Norway.

ASLICE OF LIFE, MOWERCOUNTY, MINNESOTA

Photographic essay

By Nate Howard ofAustin

Nate Howard has been photographingAustin, Minn., and the surrounding communi-ties since 1998. Born and raised in the Mid-west, he learned photography in high schoolin Michigan. Experimenting with other formsof art, it was the camera that Nate never setaside. He brings a documentary approach tohis photographs, revealing beauty and com-passion in the world around him. Working inthe rural Midwest, Nate appreciates the slowpace and sense of family in the small commu-nities. While out wandering with his camera,Nate looks at the subjects of his pictures asnot simply subjects, but members of his fami-ly, the family of humanity.

Nate made many of these photographswith an all-manual, medium format, film cam-era. The simplicity of the camera demands afocus and attention for the moment to trip theshutter. This study and reflection on what isseen in the viewfinder creates photographsthat involve emotion and respect, one frameat a time.

NATURE'S ELEMENTSHot patina on copper, brass and aluminum

By Jon Michael Route of Frederic, Wis.

Jon has traveled full circle back to thesmall, rural town where his studio is located,barely one block from the hospital roomwhere he was born in 1954.

Jon worked in an architectural metals firmand as a jeweler before striking out on hisown as an independent craft artist. He hastwice been invited to teach at the University ofWisconsin-Stout, in Menomonie, Wis., andhas given many workshops throughout hiscareer on the technical aspects of his craft.

Color is a very exciting and different pathfor me because for more than 20 years I builtmy business and reputation on pewter, a verygray metal. I knew the first time I tried the hotpatina process that I had found a basis for anew direction. There is something about theprocess of discovery that is very exciting. Ulti-mately it is very pleasing aesthetically and im-mensely gratifying for your artistic soul to cre-ate a new path you can believe in.

—Jon Michael Route

SHORELINE REFLECTIONSSilk, free-reverse appliqué

By Tim Harding of Stillwater, Minn.

Tim Harding uses a technique he devel-oped called free-reverse appliqué. It makesuse of the intrinsic properties of the textilewhile creating an interesting interplay ofsurface and structure. He also creates theillusion of a three-dimensional space withpainterly techniquessuch as light andshadow, foregroundand background,and perspective.The pixel-like qualityof his work—wheredifferent colors nextto each other areblended togetherwhen viewed from adistance—is an ap-proach associatedwith painting stylessuch as Pointillismand Impressionism.

Tim Harding has been influenced by nu-merous arts, historical and cultural prac-tices including traditional oriental kimonoforms, Monetʼs impression of light on water,and pattern painting portraits of ChuckClose. Yet, for Harding, a key influencecomes from the connection he sees be-tween modern painting and primitive ethno-graphic artifacts.

His fathershowed him how touse a few tools andthen challenged himto do something withhis newly foundtreasures.At age10, he began as-sembling the ob-jects into whimsical,representationalforms—from a life-size duck to a 24-foot stegosaurus.

In all of his work, the viewer is invited toenjoy the assemblage as a whole, andclose-up to explore the hundreds of familiarobjects. In Monarch, some of the objectswere contributed by members of the Austincommunity.

One installation, displayed to the right of the front information desk, is afive-piece mosaic by Barbara Keith, a Lanesboro, Minn. based artist. The fivepanels include a landscape, birds, fox, otter and nest.

Barbara Keithof Lanesboro, Minnesota

My path to mosaics began when I took a class on how to create stained glasswindows. After making several, there was a lot of scrap glass so I decided to trymaking a mosaic. From the be-ginning, I loved working withglass. It is a beautiful mediumwhich is striking when viewed upclose or from a distance. I amfascinated by the play of light andcolor, as well as an ability to cre-ate the illusion of depth withglass.—Barbara Keith

Austin Nature Series was in-spired, in part, by some of LarryDolphinʼs (Director/Naturalist, J.C. Hormel Nature Center) mostmemorable moments with na-ture.Among those was seeing afox on its hind legs reaching upas it tried to catch a butterfly.An-other was watching an otterswimming on its back while play-ing with a fish. Whether a broadview of a lovely landscape ormagical moments such as these,nature will surprise and delight ifone takes time to enjoy it.

Austin resident VirginiaLarsenʼs account of thepiece:

I saw an amazing sight: five largeglittering, shining, glowing pictures of nature scenes, made of colored glassshards. I could hardly believe my eyes, so fascinated was I by the effect of smallpieces of glass in a wide range of colors arranged in transformed yetrecognizable shapes. I read the information next to them: stained glass artist Bar-bara Keith lives in Lanesboro; the scenes depict actual observations made byLarry Dolphin, naturalist at our J.C.Hormel Nature Center.

For example, a small red fox on his hind legs, swatting at a butterfly; an otter onhis back in a stream, playing with a fish on his tummy; the brook with sunlight shat-tering on its ribbed surface.

I stood there in awe and then realized that tears were running down my face.As if the artist had captured holiness and rendered it accessible to us for free.
