PAST

New Prints

Burton and Hoshino employ unexpected printing techniques in their practice. They marry materials and methods to cross mediums, bringing printmaking into conversation with painting, textile, photography, and sculpture.

Burton’s work is both minimalist and multilayered. Using handmade afghans and scarves as printing tools, she applies and transfers paint onto canvas, building tonal and architectural compositions. The resulting large-scale works carry a weight rarely felt in textile

In Hoshino’s silk screens you can see traces of her stone sculpture practice. Each contains small photographic images, printed in a continuous sequence and with ink Hoshino crafts herself of collected materials; stone dust, seaweed, and leaves. All identifiable photographic qualities melt away leaving deeply textured surfaces which she aptly titles ‘Material Essence'. 

New Geometry

Weeks and Wethli use geometry as a jumping off point. They anchor shapes and then step back, giving them spaciousness, the absence of a painted background and a touch of raw texture.

Grids create a tonal framework for Weeks’ exploration of form and memory. With slight shifts in gradation on raw linen, Week’s meditative paintings echo misty window panes, clouds, portals, and the rise and set of lunar bodies.

Wethli’s color rich but quietly weathered objects are suspended on reclaimed spruce boards that still wear scars from their past life as hockey arena benches. The painted forms have their own patina that reads like the palm of your hand, or a well-used map.
