Arts and Design Department
Join the Art and Design Department as they host Kathleen Sherin for an artist talk on her exhibition. A reception will follow.
“I approach the art of printmaking as an explorer in search of making a discovery. Abstract work for this exhibition was guided by the working concept of ‘conflicting systems’ with a sub-text of ‘searching for connections’ and develops its narrative through contrasts. The continuing dialogue that informs almost all my past and present work explores the distinction and overlap of our human experience as both ‘physical/biological and a thinking/emotional’ beings. My conceptual and working methods include contrasts of energy vs. stasis, fluid vs. solid, gestures vs. slow percussive movements and physicality vs perception. The resulting prints are the symbol of an interplay and balance between perception, reason and intuition.”
– Kathleen Sherin
