Journey Through Monotype Prints, 12 pm – 5 pm
ArtSpace Vincennes is hosting Journey Through Monotype Prints: Amanda Barrow and Elizabeth Busey. Barrow experiments with transparency and explores the inherent structure of her chosen mediums, including monotype printmaking and painting. The resulting work presents a broad range of abstractions which utilize nature, architecture, and the human body as her primary sources of inspiration. Busey’s mono-prints, linotypes, and collages often resemble mosaics and quilts from a distance. She uses color and math as well as natural and man-made elements to hint at the “unseen and possibly unknowable organizational structure to all of creation.”
