I will create new body of work in Photogravure blending my interest in Photography and Printmaking which will be exhibited at Art Attack in my studio. My successful completion of the series, the quality of the work, and the attendance of the public at the exhibit of this work in my studio in Northrup King during Art Attack. 2: I will host a panel discussion at MCBA exploring the question about where Photogravure fits into the lexicon of mediums; photography and printmaking. The attendance and engagement of people at the panel discussion at Minnesota Center for Book Arts.
I created new body of work consisting of 30 photopolymer photogravure prints. I exhibited the series in my studio at the 2010 E. Hennepin building. I successfully created a new body of work. The work was displayed in my studio for the Artblok Open Studio Weekend in November. 131 people came through my space throughout the weekend to see my new work, ask questions, and purchase prints. 2: I hosted a panel discussion at MCBA entitled What is Photogravure: Photography, Printmaking or both? Participating artists were: Paulette Myers-Rich, Keith Taylor, Marvel Gregoire, Carol Inderieden, and Claudia Danielson. Twenty people were in the audience. Audience participation included questions and a chance to look at each artist's portfolio of work.
