Opening July 2008

Emily Gherard and Kim Van Someren
BallardWorks presents prints by Emily Gherard and Kim Van Someren, who have been sharing ideas and techniques since they met at the University of Washington Graduate program in Printmaking. In this series of work, titled “Overgrowth,” they have collaborated, working simultaneously on the same prints. These monotypes are the result of the two artists’ shared vision. The title “Overgrowth” refers to the often awkward transition that an artist makes when beginning a new series of work. Also on view will be new individual work by both artists.

Opening June 2008

Catherine Gill – Artopia Festival 2008

Catherine Gill and a team of artists will be on hand during the Artopia 2008 festival in the parking lot outside Catherine’s studio on 5628 Airport Way South to facilitate a community printmaking project. We will use actual bricks collected from the Ice House Demolition site as printmaking plates to be inked and to make prints. We will print on large sheets of cloth to create a new brick print "Wall". No experience necessary. Child-friendly.

A team of printmakers and artists will assist in showing you how to do Relief Printmaking using bricks as the plate, and rolling ink over them to create a large composite print. Printmaking will be done by hand onto large sheets of cloth that will be hung from the Bottling Plant building during the summer. Artists create with a diversity of material, often using unlikely materials. Come join us. It's a yes vote for Creativity, no matter what falls down around you.
