     “The work is an investigation into phenomena that are both abstract and quite particular: sounds, movement, change,” said Potter of the display.  “These two dimensional pieces are an integral part of her practice as an installation artist.”

       Amy Stacey Curtis' fourth solo-biennial, SOUND, took place in October 2006 in Waterville’s Lockwood Mill. The Maine Arts Commission's 2005 Individual Artist Fellow for Visual Art, Curtis has scheduled ambitious solo-biennial installation art exhibits from the year 2000 through at least 2010. Each exhibit of large-scale interactive installation takes place in a different Maine community's vast abandoned space; each explores chaos, order, and repetition through a specific theme while requiring audience participation. Curtis has mounted three biennials previously, in Lewiston's Bates Mill, Westbrook's Old Sebago Shoe Mill, and Brunswick's Fort Andross, respectively.
