Where To?

Rebecca Goodale and Arlene Morris

An historic clammers’ shack on Bunganuc Creek in Brunswick, Maine was the inspiration for this artists’ book which is a new collaboration with Brunswick artist Arlene Morris.

We began working together one day in mid-December 2023. We were at the shack during an incoming tide with heavy rain. While the storm raged around us, we worked and we talked about the climate crisis and the changes to the landscape in our lifetimes and our fear of loss, and more loss to come.

This book invites the reader to assemble the panels to create a specific place during this climate crisis. Each reader will be free to choose the arrangement of the seven panels to suit their aesthetic preferences.

The pages and game board are being silkscreened in Rebecca’s studio in Freeport, sewn at Arlene’s studio in Topsham, and hand colored in Brunswick at the clammers’ shack. We will continue working until we are done (early summer 2024?).

In 2023 Carrie Scanga and I collaborated on a new artists’ book inspired by Pettengill Farm, an historic saltwater farm located in Freeport, ME.

In 2022 I was invited to create work for an exhibition at the Maine Jewish Museum. This group of Artist’s books was inspired by the lives of the women in the Bible.
