Lindsey Potoff | Reaching into the Lake

Reaching Into the Lake is a series of etchings intertwining the real and imaginary. It is an act of noticing-things often missed– corners in stairwells, lingering hands, and dreams forgotten by the morning. To reach-into a lake is to extend a hand to something new, see one’s own reflection and the way it is broken up by-ripples, and come out different. Likewise, this selection of prints can act as a reflecting pool for the-viewer to consider their own life and memories, and leave a little bit different.

Intro to Etching | Oliver Stern

Copper plate etching is a process where a polished piece of copper is processed with either engraving or an acid bath with the intention of creating grooves and lines to hold ink. Ink is applied to the whole plate, then carefully wiped down leaving the ink the grooves and lines. The plate is then ran through the press with a sheet of damp paper for the final print.

Sarah Smelser | Hodophilia

A hodophile is a lover of travel, a wanderer, a walker, a restless spirit: someone who travels to escape, walks to think, and wanders to learn about the world but moreover to repeatedly discover oneself. The works in Hodophilia are inspired by physical and psychic journeys: navigating labyrinthian footpaths on the island of Skopelos, Greece; climbing the sun-scorched hills of Santa Cruz, CA; and hiking in New Mexico’s Sandia Mountains.
