Bringing treasures from the coast to our mountains, Floating Sculpture: Bruce Barclay Cameron Duck Decoy Collection presents a prestigious collection of duck decoys and analyzes the careful craftsmanship involved in creating these beautiful sculptures, allowing them to stand alone as highly appreciated works of art. The exhibition is organized by our friends at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC. Artisans included are A. Elmer Crowell from Cape Cod, MA; Joseph Lincoln from Accord, MA; Hucks Caines from Georgetown, SC; the Ward Brothers, Lemuel and Stephen from Crisfield, MD; Mitchell Fulcher of Stacy, NC; and Ned Burgess of Duck, NC. Also on view is Spirit of the Bird, a film directed by James Spione.
