David Palazola
 |
David John Palazola is a professional
drummer, percussionist, composer and educator who is currently located in Bar
Harbor, Maine. Although passionate about music his entire life, he has
been playing professionally since the age of 15. Dave plays in a style
that is representative of everything that has struck a chord with him since he
first became aware of music. To honor all of these different sounds and
musics that have influenced him, he strives to channel his creative energy into
the evolution and progression of the music that shaped him. In a given
piece performed by Palazola, one can hear traces of everything from syncopated
afro-funk to swirling free-jazz, all in perfect harmony with the pulse and
timbre of the song.

Danielle Byrd
 |
Danielle
was raised in a rugged rural town in the western Mountains of Maine. Her
resourcefulness and use of available materials and tools was facilitated by a
childhood of many hardships. Sculpting and carving from branches and
other wood scraps was originally born out of financial necessity, though she is
beginning to seek these very materials to explore her complete expressive
potential. Blemishes, cracks, and knots are seen as enhancements, rather than
detriments, to her finely finished style. Using primarily hand tools and
traditional methods of working wood, she seeks to create work that balances
elegant forms with function. Currently, she is producing sculptural kitchen
utensils and functional art, though she sees her experiences in the realm of
carving and sculpting as the creative segue into her relentless pursuit of a
career in fine furniture craftsmanship. In 2011 she started her own
business, Rosebyrd designs.

"My favorite thing about making art is the feeling of it. It’s absorbing-- like reading a first-rate novel. You need to find out what happens next. When my work is going well, I’m filled with a sense of curiosity and deep interest. As the piece moves along, I often get a feeling that I’m witnessing it. I also feel complicit in the making of art: I see the piece has needs, and my job is to meet them as best I can. It’s more communion than sheer execution, and I pay close attention in order to do this, to a million things. These things are like the stories in that book you can’t stop reading-- the characters, their drama, their surprises. But this time it’s how the light affects color, the dampness of the brush and the broken lines it helps to make, the weird angle of an edge. Everything’s interesting, and the plot thickens. It’s a great feeling." |
