8.3.10 (A certain density, right), 2010 Ink on paper 11 x 8 1/2 inches

We’ll be adding more images when wave two arrives tomorrow. The slideshow will automatically add the new images I upload. Check back as the story unfolds.

Caroline Furr: Floating World

exhibition

October 1 – November 6, 2010

Artist Reception
Saturday October 23, 2010
5 - 7:30 pm

nothing obtrusive — nothing obscure

Caroline Furr intentionally moves quietly, thoughtfully, through space and her artwork does the same. An intimate reflection, the works are mindful places past and present age unknown.

Her solo exhibition fills the gallery as a temporal space — time floating gently to and fro. Layered yet revealing these tonal dances express themselves as a Floating World.

Upcoming show Find Way with artist Peter Fraterdeus

Peter Fraterdeus has over 30 years of experience with calligraphy and letter design, including two National Endowment for the Arts grants to study calligraphy, letter carving and type design in Europe and the UK. He was introduced to letterpress printing in the mid 1960s when he first learned to print at Nichols Junior High in Evanston. He never imagined he would end up forty years later with a warehouse full of beautiful old presses, and printing on some of the very finest paper made on the planet.
