Wistful or wishful, the text sets the stage for vibrant encaustic art to portray the remnants of a segregated past. The images open on a bucolic scene and slowly focus on discarded fragments of life on an old southern farm, invaded by nature and ravaged by time. The combination of image and language brings a vigor to the story that surpasses what might be achieved with only one medium. In its colorful format, in its poignant subject matter, in its deeply rooted yet radiant geography, the <em>Still Time on Pye Pond<\/em> story is sure to resonate deeply at home in the South, and also more widely where southern realities are mirrored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThere is something vital in this conversation between image and story of the past\u2014which is not the past at all, which is lived out any time Fontaine walks on Pye Pond. What is there about a belief that is more important than a granddaughter? Where words fail us, maybe these images can tell the story.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"s2\">\u2014Jim Grimsley, author of <i>How I Shed My Skin<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<em>Still Time on Pye Pond<\/em> is haunting and memorable.

It is a narrative related\u00a0to Grandpa, Grandma, Marie, Ryan, and the artist&#8217;s own relationship to place and memory. The memoir chronicles Fontaine&#8217;s realization of family in the deep south and social change confronting outdated and dying tradition. This family story wanders far beyond the gallery. Fontaine&#8217;s images capture a sense of loss on levels that are more than representational, and in fact timely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Tom Stanley, Artist, Verner Award recipient<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanielle Fontaine\u2019s\u00a0<em>Still Time on Pye Pond<\/em>\u00a0joins together vividly rendered images with a plaintive narrative.
