MATTAPOISETT — Mattapoisett Free Public Library offers programs for every age in December.

Between Dec. 15 and Jan. 14 stop by the library and take in an exhibit from local artist John Middleton titled “Found Objects Transformed.”

After receiving a PhD in English in the Midwest (writing his dissertation on Moby-Dick), Mattapoisett resident John Middleton was an assistant professor of English in Georgia. He then had a career in sales and marketing.

When he retired from business, he earned an MFA in artisanry from UMass Dartmouth.

Middleton began collecting lost or discarded objects he found from local waters. Time, tides, wind, storms, marine organisms, and the sun transformed these found objects, rendering them strange and beautiful. Middleton’s purpose is to bring these found objects together in sculpted works of art that call attention to the dignity, beauty, and uniqueness of their transformations as well as to their stories.
