place / process

place / process, a 2-person exhibition, opens March 2, 2015 at the Free Library of Philadelphia. Alongside my fellow artist Catherine Nelson, I am exhibiting 16 new paintings and woodcuts, juxtaposed to highlight the intersections between the two image-making processes.

Here is a preview of some of the artwork in the exhibition. Click for a slide-show view:

Having returned from Iceland in mid-December 2014, I am now “processing” the profound influence of place that I experienced during my 2 month residency at Listhus. My small blue paintings may be an indication of where I will be going when I start my next series of woodblock prints. It is fascinating to me how these processes of image making intersect and influence each the other.

I am very excited to share my new artwork with you. If you are unable to attend the opening event but find yourself in Philadelphia during the run of the exhibition, please feel free to get in touch with me, I’d be more than happy to meet you there if I can.
