While the Fact Book is the annual publication that looks at aspects of doing business in Maine, the cover is often reserved for more artistic pursuits.
This year, we asked longtime Mainebiz photographer Tim Greenway for his input on the cover.
As luck would have it, Tim was in the process of putting together a show that opened in early August in Portland, at Cove Street Arts.
The cover includes several of the images included in Tim’s “WaterWays” show, which he says “captures the peaceful yet powerful journey of water flowing from the untouched snowcaps of the White Mountains, swirling through rivers and cascading over waterfalls in Maine and New Hampshire, and ultimately merging with the Maine coast. This continual flow symbolizes the passage of time and the interconnectedness of nature and humanity.”
The photos grew out of his observations about daily life.
“In our culture, which often moves at a frantic pace with constant digital noise, being present is a challenge,” he writes in his artist’s statement for the “WaterWays” show. “Over the past 14 months, as I created these photographs, I found myself immersed in the intricate details of the natural world, where time slows down and unexpected beauty unfolds before the lens.”
The “WaterWays” exhibit was curated by Bruce Brown.
The Fact Book cover was designed by Mainebiz Art Director Matt Selva.
