Allison Bianco by Brandon Smith Photography
At MacDowell, Allison will expand an existing series of prints that create a visual history of The Great New England Hurricane of 1938. Poignantly, this historic storm devastated parts of MacDowell, notably Star Studio.“When the dense growth of trees around the building was leveled in the 1938 hurricane, the studio, originally tucked away, was left in a bare, open field. Landscaping put in place by Mrs. MacDowell has since yielded to a pine forest, once again providing a quiet sylvan setting for the writers and other artists at work inside.”
Bianco will research at the James Baldwin Library, the Peterborough Town Library and the Monadnock Center looking at archives of photographs and prints to create copper plate etchings that explore the Great Hurricane from New Hampshire's perspective.
