Culture & Conversation: “Churn, Ripple, Flow” (Nancy Agati)

Each quarter, new interpretive art will be featured at the Fairmount Water Works, coupled with engaging conversation. Join us for the opening reception of Churn, Ripple, Flow on July 15, featuring the work of Nancy Agati., which will be on display for public viewing at the Fairmount Water Works through September 20.

Churn, Ripple, Flow is a set of three pine boards (totaling 18 feet), representing 3 different pattern/flow formations on the water’s surface along the Schuylkill Banks. On this large, extended woodcarving was a line drawing of the flow of the river. Participants were invited to carve the wood using a chisel and mallet, with the objective to intently observe the patterns, reflections and currents upon the water’s surface.
