January 19 – February 16, 2007

Jean Behnke, Bruce Botts Karen Kosoglad and Deborah Mersky.

Printmaking provides a vehicle for personal commentary from humble observations to profound insights. The processes of making prints often lead artists to unexpected results. The mix of intention and discovery becomes a magical interface for the viewer. The printmakers in this Hunt gallery exhibition live in, on, and around the San Juan Islands. The works, although quite distinctive in appearance contain a common thread that asks us to see the self from a universal perspective. In these more than 20 works, raw animal representations act out slices of life dramas and patterns from nature present themselves as calligraphic and cryptic messages.
