The wheels go round and round in Brunswick at Broadway Deli, whose gallery recently began displaying works by Harpswell artist Mark Royall. Royall uses motorcycle and bicycle parts to create abstract metal sculpture, clocks and images. A commercial photographer for over 40 years, Royall now finds inspiration in gears, sprockets and whimsical ways of re-using them. The Galleria at Broadway is open seven days a week at 142 Maine St., Brunswick.
