Artist StatementSeriality and multiplicity are for me closely related to narrative structure. I have gradually come to a position where drawing, painting, collage, various print media and even the paper itself as an expressive medium are all necessary for the creation of a work of art. Papermaking, manuscript painting, printmaking and bookbinding have been together for many centuries and to work today in these related fields is easy and natural. The craft-heavy disciplines like these make it easy to have such a dialogue across time. I continue to work on research projects in works on paper often involving pictures that are very intimate in scale and are a kind of manuscript aesthetic in the tradition of the Alexander Romances or the Shah Nameh manuscripts. History is an imaginative enterprise.

I often use titles to suggest that the work is from a narrative that has been lost or is in fragments, but that narrative in fact may have never existed. I do make books regularly and these collections are often the basis for later suites of images. I think I often work over the paper so much that the images come to look like fragments; I like the idea of part-objects very much. In this way I would like to suggest something of the haunting in-completeness of human existence. It is not that I am interested in old things or esoteric knowledge, or mythic or archetypal structures per se, but more in the endless, dizzying repetition of history, a repetition so pervasive as to become almost mythic. Look at the time into which we have been thrown! I think these sentiments can characterize my work in general, for it is often the case that I explore the ideas in a given project simulta-neously through sequences of images in books and in suites of larger images.

This work is not meant merely to evoke a sense of crisis or impending disaster. It is not about endings. It is not a warning sign. It is rather as if what we fear most has already happened, happened long ago, happens continuously. Now these pictures are free to look ahead or backward, to a lost or imagined time when nature and culture recognized a common ground.

This theme of the partial-object, with its resulting paratactic form, which resolves into artists books, works on paper, entire installations, and more recently, even videos, turns Melanie Klein’s clinical term into a metaphor for an age consisting of fragments and fragmented knowledge. Rehabilitating die kunstkämmer concept with its notion of the “complete set,” as well as its hubristic categorization of everything, these books and

installations try to both exuberantly display everything by category, and demonstrate the melancholia of human existence as contingency, fracture and partial knowledge. A sense of the untimely and the sorrowful accompanies all attempts at classification.

Yet as we keep thinking it becomes clear that as a trope the age of partial objects does more than describe a loss or a lack. It is meant to describe a kind of advanced accep-tance, humility, and a step forward in the sense of an insight we need to grasp. This term is simply meant to be more accurate. In these works I celebrate contingency. Disintegra-tion and reconstitution, destruction and reconstruction – these are formal strategies and describe a working procedure. This working procedure is an attempt to re-envision our experience. To re-enchant our world is not the worst task available to the artist.

BiographyDean Dass studied art, philosophy and anthropology at the University of Northern Iowa, B.A. 1978; M.F.A. in printmaking from The Tyler School of Art, Temple University., Phil-adelphia. Since 1985 he has taught drawing, papermaking, printmaking, book arts, and seminars on contemporary art at the University of Virginia.Dass has established a collaborative relationship and exchange with artists from Scandi-navia. He has taught in several universities in Finland and curated exhibitions of contem-porary Scandinavian art while bringing a number of Finnish artists to UVa. Several recent exhibitions of his oil paintings focused on Lapland.

His own works are held in wide-ranging public collections - from The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, The Walker Art Center, The Rare Books Division of the Library of Congress, to the Alvar Aalto Muse-um in Jyväskylä, Finland, as well as numerous university collections. Dass lectures widely on his work and on issues related to contemporary practice.

Despite that I have always been a kind of printmaker, my books over twenty years have all been manuscripts. This project is my first edition. I worked for eighteen months in order to not compromise my ideas of what is a book; I did not want this project to look like a reproduction, as if there was a better project somewhere else, but unseen here. Yet the tension between the unique and the reproducible is a vital tension for me. In Deleuze’s terms, the multiple becomes a multiplicity. This book is a printed manuscript, that apparently contradictory category invented by William Blake before the year 1800.

Artist StatementPrintmaking has enveloped my life for over twenty years. I began as a photographer, doc-umenting memories I valued most, which later led to a passion for printmaking. I quickly realized that I not only wanted to cherish these memories, but transform them into a means of telling my own stories by creating works of art.

Growing up in a different culture, I acquired a kind of aesthetic that became peculiar to my art making. When I moved from my hometown in Ecuador to the United States in my early 20’s, I was introduced to a new way of seeing sewing, embroidery, and art in gener-al. Exposure to new techniques during my schooling in the United States led me to com-bine my past with my present, not only aesthetically but also conceptually. Soon after, my view on printmaking transformed from my traditional approach in tactics, to something entirely new: experimenting and adding textural surface to the 2-dimentional works. I be-gan sewing and embroidering over paper and combining several collage elements on the finished prints. This way of working was directly connected to my conceptual thinking, for example, old vs. new, past vs. present, family vs. the individual, feminine vs. masculine. The aesthetics characterizing my work were revealing a combination of two worlds.

I have developed different bodies of work throughout the years, from artist’s books to installations, from 3-dimensional wall pieces to public art. Most recently I have re-focused on prints and my latest efforts are an attempt to bridge the physical separation of who I am, a Latina woman who grew up in a Spanish-speaking country who has had to adapt, cope and become a part of all that surrounds her, while still maintaining her roots. These prints are perhaps finally making peace with this life-altering struggle, and are a reflec-tion of the person that I have become due to the acceptance of these challenges. My previous prints tend to depict these two cultures together on the page, but in completely different fashions. My Latina roots would be represented through the colorful stitching, while my newfound American culture would be reflected in the flat images on paper. My current prints bring my two worlds together, carrying the differences on the same plane. I still utilize the stitch as a drawing tool, but now stitches are embedded within the metal, within the wood. All the cultural differences that embody who I am now are being united, making up new forms of expression.

Nucleus-ities Series: The pieces in this show are part of a larger body of work comprised of different “nucleus-ities” /cells. I am employing the concept of a cell as a unit of memo-ry that fuses and separates and creates new concepts and forms of remembrance, and at the same time creates future.

The group of prints entitled Trazos (Mappings) incorporates text from the 16th centu-ry manuscript, The Codex Mendoza, which details a history of Aztec rulers and their conquests including the tributes paid by the conquered. The figures depict variously a dancer, an old lady or a pregnant woman. The manuscript serves as a symbol of the underlying impact of the conquest upon the Americas and the figures serve as a symbol of what has transpired throughout time.

The interplay between text and figures reflect subsequent realities. The weight of the conquest is seen as overpowering, where the text overwhelms the figures, so that the figures become embedded cartographic elements and are seen only upon closer reflec-tion. The weight of the conquest and the acceptance of the historical occurrence are indicated where the text becomes subdued and nearly invisible.

At times, there is an equal balance between the power of the past and the present, as shown where both text and image have equal presence and force. Finally, the figure of the old woman is depicted as carrying a great weight, the weight of time, the weight of destruction; the pregnant woman celebrates her offspring and the mestizaje, or mixing of cultures.

Artist’s booksMy artist’s books are containers, depositories of personal stories. They have evolved from two dimensional surfaces to having solid yet fragile structures that can be manipu-lated and therefore read by the viewer. These works have a rougher quality, in my use of materials such as wood and raffia. These materials point to gender with their contrast of rough versus soft. Traditional basketry, crocheting and sewing are employed, techniques often considered woman’s work. Here sacred memories reveal their mysteries under the guise of beautiful materials. Yet, some of the subject matter documents the horror and brutality I experienced in Quito. BiographySandra C. Fernández was born in Queens, New York but grew up in Quito, Ecuador. She received her MA (1992) and MFA (1995) from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas-Austin and the co-direc-tor of the Guest Artists in Printmaking Program (GAPP). She teaches courses in Artist’s Books and Printmaking.

Her photographs, prints, artist’s books and assemblages have been widely exhibited and collected in numerous cities in the US and abroad including New York, Chicago, Dallas, Toronto, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Baltimore, Quito, Buenos Aires, Granada, Michoacán, Cuernavaca, Bogotá, Palestine, Barcelona, Bali, Kyoto, Hang Zhou. Fernandez’s works are represented in collections such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA), Mexic-Arte Museum, The Museo de la Casa de la Cultura in Quito, Ecuador, The Art Museum of South Texas, The Nettie Lee Benson Latin American collection, the Biblioteque Nationale in Paris, the Kohler Art Library and the Gilberto Cardenas collection of Latino Art. Most recently a book- catalogue “ La memoria del mestizaje/ The memory of mestizaje” (1990-2012) of her artwork was published by the Museum of La Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana.

Artist StatementThis body of work explores patterns of change in the contemporary landscape. I gen-erate ideas by taking extensive, international field expeditions and studying artifacts at natural history collections. The repository of drawings and photographs that I have developed from these experiences includes microscopic images, plant specimens, maps and charts. I use these source materials to examine how our understanding of nature is influenced by the ways in which we document it. The methodologies and conventions that I observe and reference are as much my focus as the particular topics in environ-mental philosophy that I study.

The title of these pieces, Outgrowth, refers to the investigative nature of my working process and the means by which I translate source material to images. Using the visual languages of technical illustration and cartography, I mark the path of changes that I see in plant growth, invasive species and migration patterns. These schematic, linear motifs describe complex structures and frameworks with precision and economy.

These printed works also reference the indelible mark on the landscape left in the wake of human activity. I allude to land erosion and the destruction of natural habitat through cross sections of trees and missing flora and fauna. I reference nineteenth-century expe-ditionary photographs by incorporating tableaux and narrative elements from stories of early explorers. This historic and contemporary evidence of physical change and events indicate the passage of time and shifting cultural borders.

Invasive Species (the title) refers to the plexiglass disk installation, and I explore the general topic throughout my work as a whole. Invasive Species arose from my general research of non-native species on a global scale; most of my work deals specifically with Texas flora and fauna or places that I know well, but over the years I have collected var-ious stories that I wanted to bring together. I included a dozen or so species and several of them are featured more than once. A few examples include (1) earthworms, which were probably imported by early European explorers to North America through the horticultural trade; (2) Kentucky bluegrass, which is now found in the Antarctic Peninsula and which could have been brought over by a traveling researcher or tourist; (3) cholera, which may could have been introduced to South America through bilge water.

Using a multi-technology approach that embraces traditional, industrial, and digital approaches to printmaking is central to the process and content of this series. I combine

hand-drawing, industrial machining and photographic techniques to create matrices for intaglio, relief and letterpress printing. Layering and alternating digital and analogue processes allows me to integrate and transform diverse source materials into cohesive and new reflections on the natural environment.

BiographyLari Radabaugh Gibbons was raised in cities throughout the world, including Chicago, Illinois; Leicester, England; and Aguascalientes, Mexico. She received a BA in Art History from Grinnell College in 1993 and an MFA in Printmaking from University of Nebraska- Lincoln in 1997. She completed additional training at the University of Iowa and Tama-rind Institute (Albuquerque, New Mexico). Her professional and studio work encompass-es independent and collaborative projects exploring ideas from ecology, environmental philosophy and natural history.

She has received numerous grants and awards—including the inaugural Research and Creativity Grant at the University of North Texas (2009–10)—and her work is held in many private and public collections, including the Beijing Natural Culture Center, Musée d’Art Contemporain de Chamalières and the New York Public Library. She has been an artist-in-residence at Anchor Graphics (Chicago, Illinois), Banff Centre (Alberta, Canada), Penland School of Crafts (Penland, North Carolina) and Ucross Foundation (Ucross, Wyo-ming), among other renowned institutions.

Her work is reproduced in catalogues, journals and books, most notably The Best of Printmaking: An International Collection (Gloucester: Rockport Publishers). She current-ly serves as editor of The Mid America Print Council Journal. Gibbons is an associate professor of art at the University of North Texas, where she teaches printmaking and directs the Print Research Institute of North Texas (P.R.I.N.T Press). Previously, she was an assistant professor and area coordinator of Printmaking and Drawing at the University of Dayton in Ohio (1998 to 2002). She has led workshops at Frogman’s (Beresford, South Dakota), Modern Art Museum (Fort Worth, Texas) and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology (Otis, Oregon), among others.
