A Sense of Place SHOW

A Sense of Place, the newest series of work by the printmakers of Northern Kentucky University's Print Club is currently showing though February 1, 2008 at Thomas More College's Eva G. Farris Gallery.

If you would like to go see the work, you can go to the University's page and download a PDF map to TM. The Gallery is located in the Library building.

Each of the various printmakers used techniques ranging from intaglio to serigraphy and collography. There is both black and white, and multiple color work exploring the various meanings, to each artist, of a 'sense of place'. The artists worked in the relatively small size of 5x5 inch image area, framed 12x12 inches to further explore this intimate subject. Styles are as varied as the artists behind the works.



Statement: “A Sense of Place”

The Northern Kentucky University Print Club is comprised of alumni and students who have developed a collegial relationship over many years of working together with teachers Andrea Knarr and Heidi Endres. We represent a tight-knit and happy mix of diverse tastes, talents and ages that energizes us to continue creating hand-printed images like the ones represented in this show. The group’s mission is to keep our love of printmaking alive, to stay connected as a group and to share the fruits of our efforts with the community at large by mounting regular exhibitions of our work.

“A Sense of Place” has meant something different to each of us. Some of us chose to depict places, internal or external, that elicit a personal and emotional response, and others chose to depict a more abstracted concept of what “place” means to them. All of the images in this show are printed by hand by the artist.
