Inked and Pressed Printmaking Vernissage

Guest Exhibit – Group Show: Friends of Printmakers

Inked and Pressed Printmaking

Sat. July 18 – Thurs. Aug. 6
Vernissage: Sun. July 19   1 – 4 pm

The exhibition highlights printmaking from a traditional and contemporary lens. It brings together a group of artists working with many different printmaking techniques. While some use printmaking to express a shared love of nature, others use it to engage with contemporary issues and ideas. Using processes such as etching, lithography, collagraphy, woodcuts and linocuts, the artists embrace the physicality and discipline of printmaking as a way to slow down, observe closely, and to connect historical methods to present-day conversations.
These works are part of a series of print based mixed media works that reflect on impacts humanity has had on the environment. Each composition developed organically in layers that echo the way ecosystems form and unravel over time, inviting viewers to look deeper and consider how seemingly distant political and corporate decisions ripple outward, affecting species, systems, and our future.
