*Video interview conducted and video edited by Liz Trosper at Umbrella Gallery.
Not Only, But Also: Navigating The In-Between at umbrella gallery in Dallas, TX: Apr. 22 - May 27, 2017
Not Only, But Also: Navigating the In-Between presents prints and 3D artworks by University of North Texas MFA candidates Kayla Seedig and David Villegas. Both artists explore the subject matter of identity – Villegas explores Hispanic identity through body sacrifice resulting from labor and paradoxical media portrayals while Seedig explores the social and visual construction of the gendered body through classification, categorization and labeling. Both artists expand printmaking to include digital photography, video and traditional printmaking methods. Join us for an exploration of identity, rich in textures and lavish in formal elegance, from two unique perspectives.
Join us for a reception with the artists on Saturday, Apr. 22 from 6-9 pm.

SCRATCHING THE SURFACE at 500x in Dallas, TX: March 18 - April 2, 2017To scratch a surface is to investigate what exists beneath something initially found. In this case, each artist is exploring their ideas by manipulating, refining, scratching, adhering, smoothing, or impressing upon their chosen substrate. Scratching the surface juxtaposes work created by ten artists from diverse backgrounds working in a wide array of media, including ceramics, metals, fibers, printmaking, painting, and drawing.
Participating artists include: Jessie Barnes Horacio Casillas Joanne Cervantes Jeremy Chavez Keela Dooley Mary Jarvis Michelle Salazar Kayla Seedig David Villegas Jim Wilson |

Visiting artist workshop at UNCP, September 26-September 30, 2016
|
Workshop Description: During this workshop, photosensitive polymer plates will be utilized to combine digital photography and the traditional printmaking process of intaglio. The printed plates yield velvety, tonal images that are unique to this process. Participants will learn how to expose, process, wipe, and print KM73 Intaglio plates through demonstrations and assisting with printing two separate images paired with monotype techniques. The workshop will have a focus on utilizing these techniques to bridge the gap between photographic and print media. About the artist: Kayla Seedig explores the construction of identity through fractured, veiled, opposing, and psychosomatic imagery to convey the push and pull of the ever-fleeting certainty that comes with knowing oneself. This conflicting yet potentially empowering relationship between the body and mind is instantaneously captured with a camera, composed digitally, and translated into rich, haptic photo intaglio prints. She received a BA from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in 2014 and is currently a candidate at the University of North Texas preparing for her MFA thesis exhibition in May 2017. *Images and poster design courtesy of Brandon Sanderson |
