patchWORK: Parts of Prints and Prints of Parts
This show highlights the segmentation of the print process as well as the concentration of print imagery on sections or segments of more expansive narratives.
Printmakers utilize a matrix a copper etching plate, a carved woodblock, a stenciled screen to construct their images. Often, they explore alternative uses of the matrix such as image repetition, overprinting, jigsaw cutting, multi-media, and collage layering to excite inventive new solutions to visual problems.
Conversely, many printmakers hone into small details of a larger picture to elicit glimpses or hints of grander worlds. Sometimes working in suites of prints or series of generative studies, the artists create individual images that serve as microcosms of the bigger picture, quietly accumulating to provide a multitude of reflections that ultimately coalesce into a unified vision. Exhibiting Artists:Josh Brennan, Liz Chalfin, Christiane Corcelle, Marc Cote, Renee Covalucci, Diane Francis, Stacy Friedman, Kelsey Miller
