    Alchemist: Someone Who Transforms Things for the Better
    The long route to English for alchemist began with the Greek word chēmeia, which probably came from the word chyma (“fluid”), derived from the verb chein, meaning “to pour.” It then passed to Arabic, which added its definite article al- (“the”) to the Greek root. The word then passed from Latin to French before coming to English. Some other words derived from Arabic also retain the al- in English, such as algebra, algorithm, and alcohol; in fact, the transformative liquid that was constantly being sought through experimentation by alchemists is another word with the Arabic al- prefix elixir.

72nd A-ONE

72nd A-One is a national exhibition highlighting the diversity of work that is
currently being made by established and emerging artists. Established in 1949 as the New England Exhibition, a regional exhibit, it later became known as Art of the Northeast and is now a national exhibition. It features a wide range of collectible contemporary artwork that is both vibrant and surprising. Throughout its history, Silvermine’s signature exhibition has featured the work of many prominent artists including Louise Nevelson, Elaine de Kooning, and Milton Avery, and jurors have included major critics, curators, and directors from influential art institutions.
Thank you to our Award sponsors Rose-Marie Fox (Board Chair), Patricia Warfield Jinishian Fund, Mollie & Albert Jacobson, Carole Eisner, Jerry’s Artarama of Norwalk, CT and Meadow Ridge. Curator Sharon Butler 

Bells for Magical Arts, watercolor on prepared rice paper, 68 x 44 cm
Board the Plane, watercolor on prepared rice paper, 68 x 44 cm
Bells for Magical Arts and Board the Plane’s ephemeral quality comes from the first summer of complete lockdown in Berlin, where I drove to my studio through a deserted city on my mountain bike, with no people, no cars, just silence, and strange transient sunlight and a feeling of being the last person in the world. It was a surreal experience, everything was so quiet and beautiful and there was a sense of “past” in the empty city, a place everyone had left and was no more. At the same time, this was before we knew when a vaccine would come, so there was at the same time this very real feeling of imminent danger. That sensation came two years later expressed in these works.
