Phippsburg Petroglyph: Rock carvings and ceramic casts together

Center Pond Preserve Trail Head 111 Parker Head Rd, Phippsburg, ME

Conceptual artist Kevin Sudeith has a unique approach to art, combining his background in painting, drawing, and ceramics with his love for ancient rock art. He creates petroglyphs - images carved into rock that can last thousands of years - to document contemporary life in a place. Since 2019, he has been carving petroglyphs along nature trails in Phippsburg, Maine representing the local nature and culture through images of birds, butterflies, boats, ships, and even Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter.

From the petroglyphs Sudeith makes ceramic casts to represent the petroglyphs to viewers who may never visit Phippsburg. This weekend will be unique, for Sudeith is exhibiting ceramics near one of his petroglyphs. Viewers can see the petroglyphs and the derivative works together, and Sudeith will be present to talk about and sell ceramic works.
