Today, the proud presence of Acadian heritage on the shores of the Bay of Fundy is unmistakable in Mark Marchesi's soft, pastel images of churches, Acadian flags, and unique architecture. But the region's population is dwindling, and the culture that struggled against the New World British influence is again losing ground. Marchesi eloquently portrays this gradual exodus of the Acadian people from rural Nova Scotia in haunting landscapes of empty seaports and abandoned Victorian properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis is the forest primeval; but where are the hearts that beneath it\u003cbr\u003eLeaped like the roe, when he hears in the woodland the voice of the huntsman?\u003cbr\u003eWhere is the thatch-roofed village, the home of Acadian farmers, \u003cbr\u003eMen whose lives glided on like rivers that water the woodlands, \u003cbr\u003eDarkened by shadows of earth, but reflecting an image of heaven?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Marchesi \u003c\/b\u003ereceived a BFA in Photography from Maine College of Art in 1999.
