Timothy Horn EDGEWATER GALLERY AT THE FALLS, MIDDLEBURY

A

sked what strikes them most about Timothy Horn’s work, many collectors will tell you it’s the light. And it is the light — a swath warming the side of an old barn, or playful dapples on the body of a vintage truck — that’s what he’s after, and why his practice of painting en plein air has been so successful.

Horn, who will be featured in a solo exhibition titled “Here and There” this 4GXSFIV EX *HKI[EXIV ,EPPIV] EX XLI +EPPW SJXIR ǻRHW MRWTMVEXMSR RIEV LMW WYRR] Northern California home, in the rural areas of Marin and Sonoma Counties.

Mundane small-town life, farmland and surrounding structures resonate with viewers and evoke a sense of nostalgia. A vintage truck, the roof of a farmhouse, an airstream trailer are all vehicles for light play and story.

Horn says that when he took up painting in 1998, it was two years before he came inside to paint in a studio, and now, he’s certain that formative experience has made him a better painter. Ƹ.ƶQ VIEPP] KPEH . KSX Q] WXEVX TEMRXMRK SYXHSSVW . XLMRO MXƶW QYGL QSVI HMǽGYPX XS transition from indoor to painting outdoors. Painting from life allows you to see more color in a scene with realistic value gradations. Once you’ve had a lot of experience painting from life, it makes it possible to paint from photos in a more realistic way. Though most of my work is done in the studio now, I continue to paint outside whenever possible, even if it’s just in my backyard. It’s a really MQTSVXERX XLMRK XS HS IZIR MJ MXƶW HMǽGYPX 8LIVI EVI XLMRKW XLEX LETTIR MR E plein air painting, that I could never do in the studio, and things I can do in the studio that would be nearly impossible to do outside.”

Horn is fortunate to be a full-time painter, participating in plein air events and teaching workshops around the country to a devoted following. Growing up EQSRK XLI GSVRǻIPHW SJ VYVEP 4LMS WYVVSYRHMRKW RSX XLEX HMǺIVIRX JVSQ XLI places he seeks now, his interest and abilities were strongly encouraged by his artistic and creative family.

“Most of our gifts to family and friends were homemade things — that’s just the way it was in our house. . . I still make my own cards. I don’t know if I’ve ever purchased a birthday or Valentine’s Day card.”

Horn pursued training in the visual arts at the prestigious Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City, where he earned a degree in graphic design. He loved art school, which he says was “all creative, all the time.” Following his graduation in 1984, he worked for over a decade in CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

WHO'S BEHIND THE NEW LOCAL LITERARY MAG?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;MORE THAN A SHOWCASE FOR LOCAL ARTISTS, ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A CORNERSTONE FOR BUILDING AN ARTISTIC COMMUNITY.â&#x20AC;?

ZIG ZAG LIT MAG PUBLISHES FIRST ISSUE AND CELEBRATES

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all started around one women Ć´ 2MGLIPPI E XIVVMÇťG TSIX Ć´ [LS was so embarrassed she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t publish her work,â&#x20AC;? explained the magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder and editor-inchief Alex Jay Dubberly, he goes

publish their work.â&#x20AC;?

Dubberly, an MFA graduate of ,SHHEVH (SPPIKI MR 5PEMRÇťIPH moved to Vergennes two years ago. Like any 28-year-old with a screenwriting degree, Dubberly is piecing several gigs together. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a few poems and a novella published, waits tables at Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant in Bristol, teaches at CCV in Rutland, and, of course, has a 600-page TV show.

When he moved to the Little City, Dubberly found himself in Librarian Muir Harmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing workshop at Bixby Library, not really as a student, but more to see how he himself could start a writing class.

Which he did; now Dubberly works mainly with long-form writers at the library, while Harman teaches intro and short-form workshops.

Harman has a lot going on at the library, and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take on the publishing role 100 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I rely on passionate community members to help,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Take Little City editor Keith Morrill, plus a few key members of the Bixbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing workshops and a sprinkle of friends, and you get the editing review board of Zig Zag Lit Mag: Jay Dubberly, Patrick Willwerth, Maddy Willwerth (yup, husband and wife), Keith Morrill, Muir Harman, Chloe Marchand and 3MRE ,VMÇ˝R +YR JEGX &PP SJ XLIQ PMZI MR :IVKIRRIW I\GITX ,VMÇ˝R (sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from Ferrisburgh) and, yes, they get together for potlucks, basketball and game night.

togetherâ&#x20AC;? said Maddy Willwerth, who volunteered to do all the graphic design and layout for the magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jay and I had pretty concrete ideas of what we wanted it to be,â&#x20AC;?

Harman added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We envisioned an extension of the process that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gone through with the workshops and other similar programs at the library; where we build and strengthen the writing community in Vergennes and the area through expression. We want to have a more open, public space to share people's writing that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on and hiding away. We want to create the place where they could share those things and connect and maybe surprise their neighbors.â&#x20AC;?

In total there were 104 submissions JVSQ HMÇşIVIRX TISTPI 4J XLEX 23 pieces by 19 people were published. The seven review board members removed the names (because they knew a lot of the submitters) and did their best to judge based on merit alone.

Dubberly says about 85 percent of the submissions were poems.

4RP] RMRI [IVI ZMWYEP EVX 8LI visual side of the magazine is an area Dubberly would like to see grow, and he encourages artists of all sorts to submit for the spring publication â&#x20AC;&#x201D; entries accepted Dec. 1, 2016-Jan 31, 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Read Local. Write Local.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dubberlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto for the magazine.

the movie SULLY — RUNNING TIME 1:36 — RATING PG-13 Director Clint Eastwood has infused the story of Captain Chesley Sullenberger with unexpected suspense and a deep sense of humanity.

That is some feat considering that millions of us watched in January of EW WYVZMZSVW SJ XLI IQIVKIRG] PERHMRK SJ ǼMKLX WXSSH SR the wings in the icy Hudson River. Sully is a stunner.

8LI JEGX E ǼSGO SJ FMVHW [EW WYGOIH MRXS XLI IRKMRIW HIWXVS]MRK XLIMV thrust. Dropping fast, Sully knew he could not follow incoming orders to return to LaGuardia. The Hudson River lay below.

In a landing so skilled that not one person was lost, pilot and crew had only minutes to evacuate the passengers who stood on the wings while XLI TPERI WERO WPS[P] &W MX ǻPPIH [MXL [EXIV YPP] [EHIH XLVSYKL XLI JYWIPEKI XS GSRǻVQ XLEX RS SRI [EW PIJX FILMRH 3I[ =SVOƶW FSEXW VYWLIH to the rescue.

In the seconds, count them, between the birdstrike and his decision to land on the river, Sully called on every bit of the accumulated wisdom of his forty years of experience. The man who had delivered 1,000,000 TEWWIRKIVW WEJIP] [EW NYHKIH SR LMW ǻREP X[S LYRHVIH That’s what we saw as we watched that rescue live on the news in 2009.

Less familiar is the prolonged story Eastwood gives us of the NTSB hearings that questioned whether the second engine — now lost — could have carried them to safety. And so we watch the hearings with a growing sense of the character of this reserved, experienced, honorable man who had done everything right.

No one could possibly have given us the very humane Sully better than Tom Hanks who conveys — without a wisp of melodrama - the core of XLI QER EW LI XIWXMǻIW UYMIXP] ERH MW VEXXPIH SRP] F] FIGSQMRK XLI JSGYW of television news all over the world.

Tom Hanks in Sully (2016).

Because Sully is so calm, so professional, his inner reactions to the accusations are contained, but it is one of Tom Hanks’ gifts that he can show us what Sully feels with a nearly invisible change of expression.

Just as Tom Hanks is lucky to have this role, Captain Sullenberger is lucky to have this actor tell the public who he really is. One very decent man shows us the inherent decency of another.

Hanks is helped immeasurably by Aaron Eckhart who plays Sully’s copilot with exactly the strength and sharp support the embattled pilot needed. All the supporting cast members deliver. Watch Anna Gunn as an NTSB interrogator. Director Eastwood, by intercutting reality with Sully’s imagined possibilities, keeps the tension at high pitch. +SV WSQI TEWWIRKIVW Ǽ]MRK MW FIEYX] JSV SXLIVW GSRZIRMIRGI JSV E WQEPP group, it’s an unnatural act. For these, a birdstrike is their nightmare and from now on they may look more carefully at the seated pilot as they board. They will be looking for a wise, experienced white-haired pilot who will know just what to do when the unexpected engulfs his plane.

the book IVORY VIKINGS: THE MYSTERY OF THE MOST FAMOUS CHESSMEN IN THE WORLD AND THE WOMAN WHO MADE THEM — BY NANCY MARIE BROWN In the early 1800s, on a Hebridean beach in Scotland, the sea exposed an ancient treasure cache: 92 chessmen carved from walrus ivory.

Norse netsuke, each face individual, each full of quirks, the Lewis chessmen are possibly the most famous chess pieces in the world.

Housed at the British Museum and the National Museum of Scotland, with six now on permanent loan in the Isle of Lewis, they are among each museum’s most visited and beloved objects. Ivory Vikings, recently released in paperback, explores the mystery of the Lewis chessmen by connecting medieval Icelandic sagas with modern archeology, art history, forensics, and the history of board games.

Nancy Marie Brown’s book explains the economic lure behind the Viking voyages to the west in the 800s and 900s, and it brings to light an extraordinarily talented woman artist of the twelfth century: Margret the Adroit of Iceland.

THE DEPTH OF ATTIC INSULATION IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR HOUSE. THE RECOMMENDED INSULATION FOR MOST ATTICS IS ABOUT R-38 OR 10 TO 14 INCHES DEEP, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF INSULATION YOU CHOOSE. BTW, IS YOUR HATCH INSULATED, TOO? USE 4-INCH-THICK FOAM BOARD GLUED TO THE TOP. For more information visit www.houselogic.com or www.acbor.org.
