Nothing is too lowly for her notice,
not the knobby seaweed, not the humble razor clam, not the ubiquitous
barnacle, not the broken horseshoe crab carapace. She singles
them out, and through her eyes, they reveal their poetry. Painting
the as portraits, as species studies,as Bachian pieces of point
and counterpoint, Mimi Gregoire Carpenter spotlights that which
is often overlooked - discovered hiding in rock piles, stranded
y the tide, and tangled in flotsam.
