"Taking Territory" Artist Talk

Please join MPA on Saturday, May 18 at 2pm for an Artist Talk featuring "Taking Territory" artists Susan Goldman, Barbara Kerne, Eve Stockton and Patricia Underwood. Helen Frederick, an MPA board member, as well as an artist, founder of the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, and Professor Emeritus at George Mason University School of Art, will moderate. 

About Taking Territory
It is a pleasure to bring together the works of Susan Goldman, Barbara Kerne, Eve Stockton and Patricia Underwood. Each of these artists mines the myriad techniques available to artists currently working in printmaking. Harnessing the medium as a way into exploratory and conceptual concerns, each also draws on their vast knowledge and experience, as artists and as human beings, stretching boundaries and continually claiming new territory.

A reverence for nature in its infinite forms is a common theme between them, as well as the universal meanings and manifestations of form and color. The relationship between humanity and the natural world is also examined, as each artist walks the line between formal abstraction and real- world references.
