Thank you to Steve and Lana Hardy and fellow artists Ben Williams, Astra Parker and Alex for the great experience!

“My first impression was ‘well, I look mean and fierce,’ and every player remembers that look,” McGraw said. “And I thought ‘well, I guess they did capture me.’”

Sculptor Ann Hirsch was selected to immortalize the winningest basketball coach in Irish history. Among her many works, she also created the statue of NBA hall of famer Bill Russell in Boston.”

“Of her players, McGraw said, “I am so excited that we have a shamrock designated for each and every one of you (at the base of the statue), because clearly I would not be here if it wasn’t for all of you.”

The statue just outside the south doors to Purcell, was designed and executed by sculptor Ann Hirsch, who was also on hand during the unseasonably warm December morning with temperatures in the mid 40s.”

“Art in the Park has returned to Worcester, offering an exhibition throughout Elm Park, including the sculpture “SOS Swimmers” by A+J Art + Design. The piece, which has been calmly floating since June, relates to the global refugee crisis and can be found in Lincoln Pond next to the Myra Hyatt Kraft Bridge.”

On view at Boston’s Metropolitan Waterworks Museum, May 13, 2023 – November 18, 2023

Curated by Arlinda Shtuni, Reservoir: What the Water Knows prompts us to consider our complicated relationship with water and reminds us of our interdependence with nature. The exhibition presents new and freshly rendered works by six noted local artists who consider these processes as the global temperatures rise and as the demand for water intensifies and inquire. Participating Artists include A+J Art+Design, Caitlin & Misha, Heather Kapplow, Nathaniel Price, Nancy Selvage, and Ros Zimmermann. The exhibition will also showcase a site-specific installation of soundscapes and sound acousmatic works by a group of Northeastern University music students guided by Pr. Hubert Ho.

Ann Hirsch and Jeremy Angier’s “You Are Here 2” picks up where our earlier You Are Here leaves off, further exploring interactions between land and water, substance and light, physical object and digital image. A five-minute multimedia odyssey transforms your sense of place with a sequence of nine varied waterscapes projected across topography of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir area.
