Global Footprints Reception

Today was a busy day up at the Printmaking Council of New Jersey. I missed the morning board meeting, but I'm not on the board so it's ok. I did arrive just as the annual member meeting was beginning, which was the usual- introduction of board members old and new, a few committee reports, some general news. We were introduced to Linda, the new director.

After a pot luck lunch we had a slide presentation from Catherine LeCleire, who has recently been Artist-In-Residence there. She works in a wide variety of print media, in both traditional and non-traditional formats. The library was hung with her work, mostly framed prints, but my favorite piece was the one shown in the top photo- black linocut animal silhouettes printed on a backing made from layered and ironed plastic newspaper bags of different colors, sewn together to make the large piece.

After that was the official reception for the Global Footprints show in the main gallery. The other 3 photos show show samples of the work, the last one showing my very recently finished piece. The exhibition will remain on display through August 2, then travel to two or three other locations. Gallery hours are Wed-Fri 10 am to 4 pm, and Sat 1 to 4 pm.
