Rick Estrin ranks among the very best harp players, singers and songwriters in the blues world today. His work on the reeds is deep in the tradition of harmonica masters Sonny Boy Williamson II and Little Walter Jacobs, while at the same time pushing that tradition forward. The Associated Press called his harp playing, "endlessly impressive."
The great guitarist Robert Lockwood, Jr. (who was schooled by Robert Johnson and who played on most of Little Walter's Chess recordings) told Estrin, "Little Walter would be very proud of you." His award-winning original songs have been favorably compared with those of Willie Dixon and the team of Leiber and Stoller. And his hipster, street-smart vocals are the perfect vehicle for driving his songs home.

Two Massachusetts artists present an exhibition that demonstrates the potential of structure-based freedom. Catherine Carter’s web-like networks, extruded as fluid paint through squeeze-bottles and rooted in the configurations of hand-writing, imply energetic movement and impressionistic forms. Jeanne Williamson’s grid-based compositions derive from architectural elements – both in spirit, as the artist is inspired by views of building facades under construction, and literally, as she uses lengths of orange construction fencing as a template to print through. Together, their work goes beyond its organized framework with twisting lines, bouncing shapes and glowing colors.

All forms of art-making embrace the word linear – it is an essential element of visual language. Words such as logic, perception, and thinking seem to be a perfect mate to our notions of line. Terms like value, shape, form, edge, and contour provide the structure through which we can evaluate and interpret art forms and are elemental to our understanding of line.

About the photographs:
The creation of this series of photographs began ( innocently-enough ) with a picture of cut daffodils, just beginning to open, in a vase in the photographer’s kitchen. A week later, the fading bouquet was bundled with an elastic bow and tossed out into the cold on a glass-topped patio table. As the flowers deteriorated, more pictures were made as time, light, and weather conditions affected the daffodils over the next six weeks, resulting an a wide variety of images.
