Photographer and granite historian, Leslie Bartlett, will discuss paintings and tools from the Museum’s collection related to the granite quarrying industry. Free for members or with Museum admission.

Leslie Bartlett, originally from Epsom, NH, is a photographer, local historian and graphic designer. For the last two years Bartlett has partnered with Susan Quateman, a silk painter, urban planner and writer on climate-related projects under the name SQ & LB Artist Collaboration. Through this work, Bartlett focuses on the theme of climate change and the resilient landscapes of Cape Ann. He has worked to produce art that explains complex scientific information in a clear manner and that evokes emotional responses in the viewer. It is through this process that he considers his photographic works of stone to be particularly relevant to our times.

October 2017 marked the 10-year anniversary of Bartlett’s installation at the Cape Ann Museum, Chapters on a Quarry Wall. Find out more about the artist at lesliebartlett.com.
