Come visit the Mattapoisett Free Public Library from May 16 to June 14 to view the Mattapoisett Free Public Library Artist Series Exhibit called Reflecting Pools – Wooden Sculptures by Nathaniel Fuchs, who was born and raised in Mattapoisett. Fuchs’s works, inspired primarily by the outdoors, focus on themes such as reflection, simplicity and nature. His work was created with a specific intention rather than a single meaning. The meaning comes from the viewer and what their moment in thought brings to the work. Three sets of wooden sculptures are grouped together on a mirrored surface to evoke feelings of thoughtful reflection as a stream or spring might in nature. In addition to his main work, Fuchs is also displaying assorted linocut prints and photographs. Fuchs is now a Rhode Island-based epidemiologist working towards solutions for the overdose epidemic. Aside from his passion for public health, Fuchs has always been fascinated with crafting meaningful works of art. Starting from a young age, he created works as gifts for family and friends. Having now developed skill sets in several artistic genres, Fuchs is launching his artistic career in various mediums, including sculpture, printmaking and photography. When not working or creating art, Nathaniel can be found hiking, kayaking, or spending time with friends and family. The Library is free and accessible to all.
