Crossroads by Susan Wooddell Campbell
Opening reception: Sunday, November 6 from 2pm – 4pm
Closing reception: Sunday, November 27 from 2pm–4pm
I don’t remember a time I didn’t have a tool in my hands. Crayon, pencil, paintbrush, stylus, carving tool or garden clippers – making art has always been a driving force for me.
I began as a painter, and then found printmaking techniques opened up new opportunities for layering and compositional flexibility. Today, whether it is intaglio, gel press, linocut / woodcut relief, or even digital, each dive fuels exploration that invariably begets combinations I couldn’t have imagined beforehand.
The pieces in this show share movement and gesture, all pursued in a variety of different techniques. In terms of tools, I’m all over the map, but it is all in pursuit of discovering new ways to express myself as I break down and translate essentials of the observed world.
