Print As Object 2020 selection & merit award

Print as Object 2020
October 21-December 3
Now on view at the Nona Jean Hulsey Gallery at Oklahoma City University

Print as Object is a group exhibition of artwork that stretches the boundaries of traditional printmaking mediums. The exhibition aims to highlight artists using printmaking as a starting point and pushing beyond the standard editioned print on paper to create sculptures, books, and installations. Below is a statement from the Print as Object guest juror, Shelley Thorstensen, artist, curator, and founder of Printmakers Open Forum: 

Congratulations to the organizers of Print as Object. The amount of hard work, persistence and resilience to pull off an exhibit like this now cannot go without recognition. It’s a feat and a triumph. As the juror for this show, I waited with much anticipation. The new and novel Covid-19 swirled around us all and even still, they found a way. It is not surprising – artists are like that; printmakers are especially like that. We are imbued with two loves among many: Persistence and Community. Simply put, printmakers do not give up easily and they stick together.
​
Print as Object is a show filled with the incongruence of our current lives. It causes a double take – Print. As Object – not installation, but object. Not a window to a world on the wall, but object. It is not lost on one of us that these objects will not, for the most part function in our once normal three-dimensional world. Instead, most of us will experience this show in a venue far from it - on a screen. But within those confines shines a beautiful exhibition, pushing the boundaries of print, working the edges of sustainable practice. It is a proud and humbling moment.

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 gallery in Dallas, TX
​Mar. 18 - Apr. 2, 2017 

To 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 the university of north carolina at Pembroke
Sept. 26 - 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.
