About the Exhibition:                     

Printmaking as an artform is the outcome of an embrace, between a print matrix and the material which receives its marks. “In The Middle of Something” brings together eight artists living and working in Red Deer who utilize printmaking as part of their studio practice. Each explores different techniques and ideas, though many share an interest in DIY and lo-fi processes, as well as themes of nature, identity, and history.

 

About the Artists:

Marnie Blair is from Northwestern Ontario, and currently teaching drawing and other 2D art methods at Red Deer Polytechnic. Fusing traditional print media processes with new technologies, Blair examines the human body through lenses of gender, medicine and science.

Ayden Fox is a recent graduate of RDP’s art program, continuing their education in Calgary at AUArts, where they work in both ceramics and drawing. Fox’s prints utilize root vegetables from their family farm, exploring ideas of rootedness, community, and nostalgia.

Daylan Hecht is also an RDP alum currently studying at AUArts, who utilizes ceramics and mixed media drawing and print processes to comment on both connections and divisions within relationships to nature and family.

Luke Johnson is an American-born multidisciplinary artist, whose work deals with history and the marks left upon objects over their lifespan. He taught drawing and printmaking at Red Deer Polytechnic this past year.

Yvonne Moorhouse is a multidisciplinary artist, curator and Nunatsiavummiut, currently based in Red Deer, Alberta, whose work explores narratives of personal and global histories, pillars of personal identity, and sense of place.

Jewel Shaw is a print-based artist practicing in Red Deer, with Cree and Métis family lines, descending from the Treaty 8 Territory in Northern Alberta. She explores memory, identity and loss through graphic symbolic imagery and reinterpretations of found objects.

Theresa Towers Rickard is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Central Alberta. Active as both an artist and designer, she utilizes photographic imagery manipulated through digital and analog processes, often returning to themes of nature and identity.

Jim Westergard taught printmaking and drawing at Red Deer College from 1975 to 1999, and is well known for his crisp, realistic drawings and his detailed and textural wood engravings, often exploring the world through tongue-in-cheek humor and word play.

Artist Statement:

Red Deer is blessed with a welcomed spring and glorious summer. These floral prints display the wonderful variety of blooms and plants seen in Red Deer during these times.

My objective as an artist is to produce affordable art for everyone.  My prints might enable people to start an art collection that can grow as they add to it over the years.  My art needs no interpretation.​

About the Artist:

Dennis Moffat is a Red Deer artist who has worked professionally since 1979. He received his training at the Royal Winnipeg School of Art, McMaster University, University of Calgary and the Red Deer College Summer (Red Deer Polytechnic) series program.

He paints, prints and etches, in addition to producing works in ceramics. Printmaking is his joy - he has printed more than 1100 editions, and the finished "surprise" of each print is a great satisfaction.
