A local artist, Julia Taylor, organized this exhibition of two print exchanges showcasing original prints by emerging and established artists. Fifty one works created in various print media, including traditional and experimental printmaking techniques, digital and photographic methods reflect participants’ response to the print exchange themes: Home Sweet Home and Let Me Introduce Myself.
Home Sweet Home highlights the finest examples of diverse artists’ works, interpreting the theme of Home. Each portfolio participant explores the meaning and significance of Home. While many of us travel, migrate or immigrate, settling either temporarily or permanently in different places around the country or world, the following questions arise: What is home to you? Is it a physical object, space or an emotional state? Does the meaning and importance of home come from your past, e.g. childhood, or is it found in your present environment? How does one describe or create a home? All participating artist address these questions in their works that will be exhibited through the end of September.
With the theme "Let Me Introduce Myself", each participating artist unfolds the idea of self-introduction through print using a magnificent visual language of line, shape, value, texture and color. The audience can evaluate how the artists introduce themselves through their prints revealing individual aspects of their personality. As a preface to a book, each participant's print becomes a greeting, a chance for each one to introduce themselves to one another and to the viewer. This print exchange is an opportunity to examine each artist’s processes of creative thinking and self-perception.
