More here. ————— PROGworkRESS presents recent work from artists in the Book Arts and Printmaking graduate program at the University of the Arts. The pieces shown both build the individual voices of the artists and interrelate in surprising and exciting ways. This show documents a wide range of developing projects as the artists move towards the completion of their thesis work.   Featuring:Charissa Schulze explores the peripheries of history; Karen Hardy taps into our innate curiosity and instinctual fears with sculptural handmade paper; Mou Zhu compares censorship in the United States and China in video installation; J. Pascoe examines alienation and wonder through the use of multilayered prints; Sarah Hulsey creates a spatial diagram that maps the quotidian to the fanciful; Erin Paulson emphasizes our eternal quest for answers through points of embroidered light; Ellen Haines discovers the ups and downs of a cat who just can’t get enough pie in a story-book composition; Katherine Pulido investigates humorous interactions between whimsical and emotionally complex creatures in watercolor and ink; Kunyoung Chang addresses the spiritual moments of reading with ‘wishing stones’ using pulp from discarded books.   “This Works-In-Progress exhibition is a fine example of the variety of media and content that find their way into book-friendly forms and paper structures. It is an enticing preview of what is to come in the spring from these MFA candidates,” Amanda D’Amico, Master Printer, Borowsky Center for the Publishing Arts, the University of the Arts.   You are warmly invited to the opening reception on Friday, October 19th, 5:30-7:30 pm.
