"Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever." — Goethe

On Saturday, October 19th, from 6:00pm until 8pm, True Grit Art Gallery will host an opening reception to launch ‘Out of Sight’’ — a dual exhibition by local photographers Rebecca Skinner and Peter Jardim. The exhibit features fine art photography focusing on abandoned or out-of-the-way places and objects.

Rebecca Skinner is a contemporary photographer, living in Franklin, MA. She is a core artist member of the Fountain Street Gallery in Boston and graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. Abandoned buildings serve as the focus of her most recent series of photographs. She portrays these facilities not only as a preserved instance of a forgotten time, but as the summation of the place’s history and beauty.

Peter Jardim currently resides in Scituate, Massachusetts. From a young age he has had an interest in art, engineering, and history. He attended the Massachusetts College of Art where he majored in painting. Near the end of his education he transitioned to photography and developed an interest in old shipyards, airfields, and former industrial sites as subject matter. Photography became a way of helping to tell stories of the past through visual means.

The gallery invites the public to come and meet these great local talents and view their works while enjoying complimentary refreshments and socializing with other local art enthusiasts.This event is free and open to the public. This show is on view from its opening night through November 16th.
True Grit Art Gallery is located at 38 Center St in Middleboro MA. Regular gallery hours are Tuesdays 11am - 4pm, Wednesday thru Fridays 10am-5pm, and Saturdays from 10am - 3pm.

This dual exhibition really gave me something to think about. I know that art is very much subjective, and the ideas that I got from here are just insane. I was able to learn something new in life, and I wish to visit this again. I will probably go and remind myself of this whenever I need to do something new. I hope that I can purchase some of the pieces here, it would really help my life a lot.

This sounds like a truly compelling exhibition—there’s something endlessly fascinating about finding beauty in places that have been forgotten or overlooked.

The theme of *“Out of Sight”* feels especially powerful. Abandoned buildings, shipyards, and industrial spaces often carry layers of history that aren’t immediately visible, and photography has a unique ability to reveal those hidden stories. It’s interesting how both artists approach similar subject matter from slightly different perspectives—one emphasizing the quiet preservation of time, the other focusing on storytelling through remnants of the past.

The Goethe quote is a perfect introduction as well. It frames the exhibit not just as documentation, but as a way of uncovering something deeper—those “secret natural laws” that shape how we perceive beauty in decay, structure, and memory.

Events like this are such a great opportunity to connect with local artists and see familiar or forgotten spaces in a completely new way. It sounds like a wonderful evening for anyone interested in art, history, or photography.

Definitely one to check out.

There’s something quietly powerful about exhibitions like this—where the subject isn’t the obvious or the polished, but the overlooked, the weathered, the nearly forgotten.

“Out of Sight” feels less like a title and more like an invitation: to slow down, to notice, and to reconsider what we typically pass by without a second glance. Both Rebecca Skinner and Peter Jardim seem to be exploring that threshold where history lingers—where spaces and objects, though abandoned, still hold presence.

I’m especially drawn to the idea that these places aren’t just remnants, but storytellers. There’s a certain honesty in decay—layers of time, use, and memory that can’t be replicated or staged. Through their lenses, these environments become more than ruins; they become reflections of change, resilience, and even quiet beauty.

It sounds like an exhibit that encourages not just viewing, but feeling—where the past isn’t gone, just waiting to be seen differently.

A fitting reminder that sometimes, what’s out of sight holds the most depth.
