Ardith Fish opens exhibit at Groovacious’ Art Wall Gallery
by Shay Baruffi
Iron Count y Today
Ardith Fish celebrated the open-
ing of his first exhibit on July 8th at
Groovacious’ Art Wall Gallery. The
exhibit, “Black Market Underground
Art/Abstract Expressionism,
Impressionism, Expression Art,” fea-
tures vibrant and unique abstract art.
“I believe there is a historic precedent
set by the different artist and differ-
ent art movements. Impressionism
is a good starting point for me.
Impressionism was a revolution in art
that changed how art is perceived,”
states Fish in his artist statement.
Ardith uses a variety of materials
and methods to create his distinctive
art pieces, detailed in each painting’s
description. Along with different dry-
ing times of paints and the direction
of the canvas for drip effects, Ardith
employs the use of several agents to
create interesting textures. These
include, WD-40, tempera paint
powder, glitter, asphalt emulsion,
enamel, mineral spirits, house
paint, construction colorants,
and even nail polish. Ardith’s
impressive use of these
resources generate fascinat-
ing textures and pigments.

I always know
where my rotary-
dial phone is!
by Mary Anne Andersen
Cedar Cit y Arts Council
Y ou know how some memoirs use scientific
advances to give an idea of an individual’s
lifetime?
“His father drove a horse and buggy and he lived
to see a man on the moon.” For my life, the evolving
telephone is the indicator of just how long I have
been communicating with my fellow human beings.
In middle school, I began talking to my friends over
something called a “party line.”
A party line was a phone line shared among
neighbors. In our case, there were four families on
the same line. When you wanted to make a call, you
carefully lifted the receiver to make sure one of your
neighbors wasn’t already talking. If so, you replaced
the receiver, waited a few minutes and tried again.
Line is clear, so you can make your call, always with
the awareness that you can’t talk long because one
of the other families might be waiting to use the line.
You knew because you heard the slight click as some-
one picked up their phone, and you then hurried your
call to its conclusion. And you were always aware that
someone might be listening in. Our nemesis was the

July Jamboree!
The only thing hotter than the hotrods
at this year’s July Jamboree was the
relentless sunshine. Thankfully, it didn’t
stop the crowds on Cedar’s Main Street from
enjoying a little car-coveting while peeking
under the hoods and imagining getting
behind the wheel of some very beautiful,
antique and futuristic vehicles.
