Description

Come along this week to find out why I think an episode of the Twilight Zone is the perfect analogy for going on an artist residency ...AND also hear a little radio play I made about going to a Provincetown/Truro dune shack for a week as an Artist in Residence and all about my neighbors: 1,000 gray seals and a single white-footed dune mouse. It will be "Ever so much fun."

More about Ray Wells Shack history (Thanks to Tony Lagarto for his research and post on FB): "The long-time shack of Ray Martan Wells, the artist wife of real estate developer and restaurateur Nicholas Wells, founder of The Mews. Coast Guardsman Ellis built the original (central) portion of the shack in 1935 or 1936 with a side gable roof. This part of the building is located on its original site and retains its 1930s orientation, dimensions, and the majority of the structural system. The Wellses added the extant front porch in 1937... According to Gail Cohen, Nicholas and Ray Wells purchased the deed from Eugene O’Neill’s wife, Carlotta Monteray...Ray Wells lived to 103 and she inhabited her dune shack up until shortly before her death." --TL (LINK)
Artists and writers who worked in Provincetown: Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Norman Mailer, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler, Franz Kline, and Hans Hofmann (LINK)
