Shroud I and the RESPONSE group show in Brooklyn, NY

My stone lithography paper doll, Shroud I, will be exhibited in the Vox Populi Print Collective's inaugural show, RESPONSE, at ArtHelix Gallery in Brooklyn, NY from November 10-26, 2017.

RESPONSE gathers over 60 printmakers and their reaction to the new global political, sociological, and environmental realities of our time. There will be a catalogue of all the works available for purchase at the show.

In beginning this piece, I began referencing current conflict zones and human casualties of war. I was both moved and inspired by the frequent images of children before burial, their bodies wrapped in shrouds of white. The child in my drawing is of my own design, as I didn't want to reference one specific victim.

Drawing on the stone.

Special thanks to Elizabeth Jean Younce for graining the litho stone for me, and Barry Roal Carlsen for doing the printing.

Vox Populi Print Collective

Recently I joined Vox Populi Print Collective, a printmaking guild co-founded by Barry Roal Carlsen and Peter Hopkins. The group seeks to elevate, celebrate, and promote fine art printmaking in the US and abroad.

I'm looking forward to creating more stone lithography prints and showing along side of other printmakers. I'm told the group is already over 100 strong and growing.
