Closing Reception Pieces Together: Printed and Manipulated Surfaces and Objects

Celebrate the Month of Printmaking with a new Buell Theatre exhibition featuring Taiko Chandler, Mark Friday and Chuck McCoy. Chandler’s monotypes push the technical and material limits of printmaking in works that flow and expand, evoking the patterns and colors of closely observed worlds within the world. Friday’s assemblages are a tribute to well-crafted objects. The re-working of the found object, along with the screen-printed image, give the objects new life beyond their original functions. McCoy’s monotypes are spontaneous improvisations of color and form made during the process of printing on paper. Other works by McCoy combine inkjet printing on painted and prepared panels, bringing improvisation and abstraction into another dimension. The exhibition will be on display in the Buell Theatre lobby until June 1 and viewable by show patrons during ticketed events.
