Deborah Schindler, Carnival in the Garden of Eden, linoleum cut, 18" x 25"

Opening Reception: Sunday, March 10, 3-5 pm
Lecture/demo: Saturday, March 16, 3-5 pm

Whether the subject matter is sheep or the graphic artist Jaques Callot, tiled walls or manhole covers, Deborah Schindler brings her unique vision of the world to light through linoleum cuts that come to life in a joyful array of patterns, textures and contrasts. Expressive Impressions, a compilation of recent original hand-pulled prints and artist books on a variety of themes, will be on display at the Washington Printmakers Gallery in Georgetown through the entire month of March 2024.

Describing her work, Schindler observes:

I have always looked at subject matter thematically: one idea evolves and morphs into other ideas. Although subject matters vary – from people in motion, birds in flight to spinning wheels – overall, there is an emphasis on anti-gravity and anti-gravitas in nearly everything I do. My explorations, manipulations, indecisions and revisions are all part of the creative process. There always exists the Yin and Yang, back and forth, of black and white, duking it out for supremacy in those ephemeral grey areas.

About the Artist

Donna Cameron is an award-winning American artist whose hand-generated film prints and celluloid negatives are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, NY (MoMA). She developed her signature imaging technique, Cinematic Paper Emulsion (CPE), as a painting student and aspiring independent filmmaker, using recycled paper print materials to make her own highly textured emulsion. CPE was given a U.S. patent in 200l and has inspired numerous graphic design modalities, including film title art. Cameron's film paintings and prints were exhibited con latere at the Venice Biennale in 2005 and 2007 and programmed in the Whitney Museum of American Art's Millennial (NY) and the MoMA’s Millennial (NY) shows in 2000, among other global museum screenings. Since 1994, she has taught film and television production and inter-media fine arts aesthetics at the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, NY. Cameron became an artist member of the Washington Printmakers Gallery in May 2023. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, and Arlington, VA.
