Process & Purpose highlights exciting prints made by a group of significant artists who extend the range of what printmaking is and will be. These printmakers include artists who are internationally recognized as leaders in the field, as well as emerging younger talents. One focus is a major trend in recent printmaking using non-toxic materials to make artwork.

The show contains over thirty works of art by the following artists: Charlie Campbell, Bernice Cross, Keith Howard, Catherine Kernan, Friedhard Kiekeben, Ronald Netsky, Nicholas Ruth, Alan Singer, Satan’s Camaro, and Dan Welden. Each participating artist contributes fresh energy by changing the scope of printmaking and confronting innovative subjects or procedures. These artists invent new techniques and methods to express their cutting edge visions.The primary goal for “Process and Purpose” is to highlight terrific prints made by a group of significant artists that extends the range of what printmaking is and will be. Each artist has contributed fresh energy to this field and changed the scope of printmaking by confronting certain subjects or procedures. Prints are made with new techniques that allow for specific imagery. Sometimes artists have to invent the tools they use to achieve a desired result.

"I see this exhibition as not only an opportunity to view a large group of gorgeous prints, but also as a place where artists can articulate the concepts they have in mind, and walk us through the way they manifest their ideas."
