Shortly after World War II, Nan and Arthur Kellam packed up their life in Southern California and moved to a small island off the coast of Maine. Together, they built a new life as the only residents of Placentia Island. Living in a small cabin, built by Arthur, they lived a life of considerable intimacy for 40 years; sharing each other’s company, largely removed from society, comfortable in the limitations of the island.
In the mid – 1990’s and later in 2008, David Graham photographed the Kellam’s cabin and the landscape of Placentia Island. Arthur passed away, Nan followed several years later, but their cabin remained as a witness to their lives lived together. Their books, tea cups, tools and furniture appeared as they would have if they had just left by dory for Bass Harbor to do some shopping. The photographs in this exhibition show the evidence of the Kellam’s lives and the toll of time on their humble creations.
