This juried exhibition features artwork from all around the world, with artists from across the US, as well as Canada, Italy, France, Ireland, and Barbados. The pieces in this show are connected by two common threads – first, they all explore the intersections between photography and printmaking, using techniques such as photogravure, cyanotype, transfer printing, platinum palladium prints, and much more. Second, they explore the theme of re-emergence. Some pieces explore this theme through motifs of new life, while others examine it through the lens of climate change and natural geological processes, reshaping the land around us in various ways. Others capture the complicated feelings we are all experiencing as we re-emerge from a devastating global pandemic – joy and hope, but also fear and sadness. The past year and a half has been a time of enormous change, loss, and uncertainty. As more and more of the population gets vaccinated and pandemic precautions are lifted, we are finally seeing glimmers of normalcy re-emerging – but this sense of normalcy feels a bit more fragile now that we know how easily it can be broken.
