"fine print" opens at PHD Gallery, Friday, March 18

Opening in conjunction with the SGC International Conference
Hosted by Washington University St. Louis and part of "Cherokee Night"

Join us for the opening reception
Friday, March 18th 7-10 PM
PHD Gallery
(through April 212nd)

"fine print" showcases two printmakers who create monoprints using very different techniques. Rosen creates monoprints using waterless lithography and seriography. With a nod to Jim Dine's robes, Rosen
uses women's vintage slips as the subject of her work. By contrast Joe Chesla creates process directed, "mineral" prints incorporating nontraditional techniques to impregnate fine printmaking paper with a
recording of the corrosive process of metal. He takes this process one step further by adding dissolved salt to the mineral bath, which re-crystallizes on the paper diffusing and distracting from the underlying imagery. Encaustic techniques enrich the visual depth and physical presence.

Open to the public from 5pm-10pm ~ more details soon! Hope to see you there! ABOUT OUR PRINT CART: In the spring of 2010 we were inspired to revamp our travelling event display and opted to custom build a mobile, collapsible print cart from scratch. We wanted the cart to be strong and durable ~ able to hold up against the elements ~ while also remaining a clean and inviting display for our original woodcut prints. It also had to collapse to fit easily into our mini van. The finished cart, fully operational and loaded with prints, debuted alongside all of Tugboat Printshop's latest works at the MATTRESS FACTORY ART MUSEUM in Pittsburgh, PA.
