Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’. Our current exhibition, Narrative Terrain: Landscape as Storytelling, features several works created by artists that have sought to capture the passing of time using the screenprinting process. After viewing the works of Sarah Sze, Alison Rossiter, and Laura Owens, head to our print studio to create a series of drawings on mylar by exploring marks with various tools. Leave with your own gradient print and an understanding of the ways mark-making can affect the quality of an image and its expression of time. Each week, we’ll glean inspiration from works on view in current exhibitions or from artist boxes in our archives to learn a new skill to use in the classroom or your own personal art practice.
