Exhibit: A Darkness
Recorded: October 15, 2013
For centuries the graphic traditions of woodcarving and printmaking have used darkness to articulate the split between seen and unseen, reality and myth, waking and dreaming. Fairy tales dramatize and give shape to what is hidden and lives in shadow. A collage of fantasy and reality intersperse in these stories, and the works of Patrick Vincent and Lauren Kinney celebrate this density, complexity, and wonder through large woodcuts, prints, and handmade books. Patrick Vincent engages the physicality of the print, paper, and book to survey the interconnection of animal and human in folk tales and fairy tales. Lauren Kinney uses hidden pictures, symbols, and patterns to weave collected imagery into narrative.
