”Subject to Change”
Julia Talcott

This exhibition presents printmaking from 2012 to the present. My work reflects my interest in the natural world and its intersection with the man-made world. I like to observe patterns, pull them apart, and then re-imagine them as printed pieces. 

Creating them as linoleum and woodblock prints, I produce a vocabulary of images and then work intuitively to collage them back together into new forms. 

I alternate between abstraction and representational images, with color and black and white pallets to weave images together. I strive to express the vitality of growth and decay in a physical and spiritual world.

”Nature Transformed”
Vivian Pratt

My work is always responding to nature.  I am captivated by organic materials and use them in my artistic practice. As I work, I transform the natural materials into something new that also feels organic. In most of my work, I use the computer as an artistic tool, moving back and forth between the computer and natural materials.

Recently I began making handmade paper and combining it with scavenged plant material to create small sculptural reliefs.  Adding wax, they become translucent, fragile… but not complete.

By bringing photos of the reliefs to the computer, my process becomes fluid, and I allow the imagery to guide my modifications until it feels right. When printed, it again feels organic and refers back to the natural reliefs.  I've transformed the organic work into something different, more mysterious, but still embracing the beauty of nature.
