I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CULTTR_220220_051.JPG: Paul Rhymer “The Fishing Lesson”, 2014 This bronze sculpture created by Paul Rhymer mirrors the teaching relationship of parent and child while also subtly educating onlookers about the chain of life and the importance of teaching self-sufficiency. Visit the Museum of Fine Arts for the accompanying children’s book about the bears!
2. CULTTR_220220_054.JPG: Richard Deutsch “Pod”, 2005 This solid, white granite sculpture was hand-carved by Richard Deutsch in Italy where Michelangelo’s studio was located.

4. CULTTR_220220_101.JPG: Mary Titcomb A Leader in Learning Mary Titcomb was the first librarian to lead the Washington County Free Library, the first county library chartered in the United States. She was dedicated to seeing that the library was accessible beyond the county seat, so she developed the first Book Wagon. This horse-drawn carriage traveled to rural destinations of Washington County, reaching readers who otherwise would not have the capability to visit the library. See how Mary Titcomb’s work in Washington County went far beyond the circulation of books.

Description of Subject Matter: The Hagerstown Cultural Trail connects two of our city’s most popular destinations -the downtown Arts & Entertainment District with City Park and the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts. With public art experiences, gathering spaces, and other amenities along the way, the Trail will become a destination for visitors in itself.

PIECES ON THE TRAIL:

Mural of Unusual Size
Alex Brewer, aka Hense, Atlanta, Georgia
Bad Boy Art Star Transforms Buildings into Beacons of Renewal: Alex combines youth culture roots with a museum-quality design sense. This Mural of Unusual Size transforms a massive deficit along the Trail — industrial buildings that loom over their surroundings — into a signature asset for the trail and city — a beacon of energy and vibrant color visible from long distances.
Bio: Internationally recognized contemporary public artist and award-winning painter Alex Brewer, known as HENSE, has been commissioned to create his signature expressionistic murals by art museums, art foundations, municipalities, corporations and private clients for nearly two decades. His explosive free form compositions in lyrical color harmonies are layered with an almost calligraphic sense of mark-making.
“HENSE combines the quick pace and point-of-view of street culture with tumultuous compositions often characterized by highly keyed color, vertiginous line and biomorphic shapes.”
— Michael Rooks, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, High Museum of Art

Railroad Switch
Vicki Scuri,
Seattle, Washington
Artistic Fence — Playful design from an industrial past
A nationally known infrastructure artist is creating the plasma-cut steel fence design based on railroad imagery, recalling the busy railroad yards that one occupied this land. The fence provides a backdrop for the HHA sculpture garden area and visually screens it from Ellsworth Electric’s parking lots and loading docks.
Bio: Educated in printmaking and design, Vicki transformed her studio work into large-scale public installations as a member of the Downtown Seattle Transit Artist Design Team. This program catalyzed her interest in collaborative work and public space. It marks the beginning of her practice, Vicki Scuri SiteWorks.
Her primary focus is site responsive, collaborative design and Public Art, with emphasis on community identity through awareness of place, history and culture. Her practice specializes in infrastructure as public place, because infrastructure, best symbolized as the backbone of urban design, is the system upon which society builds its core values, creating meaning, mobility and connectivity. Having participated on over fifty design teams across the United States, she continuously hones her skills as an artist and collaborator.

Rise
Adam Curtis
In Love with Steel: Adam Curtis was an up-and-coming sculptor in the 1980s and 90s, studying sculpture at the School of Visual Arts in New York and exhibiting around the country and world before moving to Maryland, starting a family, and founding a high-end metal fabrication facility. His sculpture for the Hagerstown Cultural Trail marks his first significant art commission in a couple decades, and this seasoned fabricator and sculptor hopes it will be the first of many public artworks in the coming years.

Fantastical Garden
Alison Sigethy,
Alexandria, Virginia
First Installation for the HHA Sculptural Playscape – As the first sculptor to create work for the HHA playscape, Alison will be fitting her work to the site, its vision of an all-ages interactive zone, the design of the parklet, and two other major artworks: an artistic plasma-cut Corten steel fence by Vicki Scuri and the towering Mural of Unusual Size by HENSE.
Bio: Alison studied theater and lighting design at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and received degrees in Interior Design and Art History from Marymount University. She worked as a lighting designer and art director before taking up glass full time in 2003. She is on the faculty at the Washington Glass School, is a Torpedo Factory Resident Artist, and was the Torpedo Factory Artist of the Year with Marsha Staiger in 2010.

Pod
Richard Deutsch,
Davenport, California
Bio: While shaping a 30-year career, artist Richard Deutsch has fostered the imaginative inquiry required to design sculpture and public art environments of stone, water, bronze, and stainless steel. The recipient of numerous awards, including fellowships from the American Academy in Rome and the National Endowment for the Arts, Deutsch creates work that is marked by an understanding of space and environment. Conceived for a particular architectural or social context, complex programs and rich histories are distilled into art projects with simple sculptural forms and strong visual impact. The artist is committed to creating work that is thought provoking and accessible and — through art’s intangible power — builds community and sustains interest over time. Concept, layers of meaning, the organization of form and space, and the human experience are all central to his exploration.
Among Richard Deutsch’s commissions for sculpture and art-integrated environments are significant projects for Stanford University, the Oakland Museum of California, and major urban plazas for San Francisco, Oakland, and Washington, D.C. His sculpture is in the permanent collection of San Francisco’s de Young Fine Art Museum and the Smithsonian Institution.

Rivulet
Christian Benefiel and Ryan McKibbin,
Shepherdstown, Maryland

Based in Maryland, they have completed projects for a variety of institutions, architects and private clients. Both natives of the Baltimore Metro Area, their respective studio practice is tied to a history of craft and culture in the Chesapeake Bay.

This Little Light of Mine
Eric B. Ricks,
Washington D.C.
Originally from Monrovia, Liberia West Africa, Eric B has resided in the United States with his family as a political refugee since 1990. He completed high school at Quince Orchard High where he was initially introduced to his first love, traditional film photography. After graduating from high school, he briefly pursued photography at Montgomery College. During the 1990’s, Hip Hop culture blooming in the DMV was underscored with the “Aerosol Street Art Scene”. Eric was drawn in and immersed himself into the scene-committed to a life pursuit of this culture. Later his interest expanded as he explored many other forms of creative self expressions, including, but not limited to: traditional painting (acrylic and oils), collage, sculpture, fashion design, book making, interior design and remodeling. He sees himself as a life long student to the many disciplines of creative expression, and the arts have been the focal interest which has led him to a path of spiritual awareness and self enlightenment. Witnessing the destructive side of mankind and being a child survivor of war, Eric B uses art as a medium for hope, change and love. “Art is the thread unique to the human animal that binds and heals mankind of its diseases of hate and the illusion of alienation that we are born into.” His work was most recently featured in Art All Night:Nuit Blanch (DC), Art Whino’s G40 Art Summit (VA), Forward Festival (DC).
