An Exhibition
of Works by Three Canadian Print-Artists
Three Canadian artists, Bonnie Jordan, Marja-Leena Rathje and Steven
Dixon, are presenting an exhibition of their photo-based work at
the Pohjanmaan Museum’s Taidehalli in Vaasa in May 23rd to
June 16th, 2002.
The work of these printmakers ranges widely from the utilization
of leading edge technology to the combination of computer’s
image editing along with traditional etching and to the revival
of early photographic printing techniques.
Bonnie Jordan creates complex imagery from two and three dimensional
objects and then develops them via the computer, to take final form
as both intaglio and digital light-jet prints.
Marja-Leena Rathje produces digitally based images for photo-polymer
intaglios that are further altered and eroded in a deep-etching
process.
Steven Dixon’s chosen medium is photogravure. This process
is rooted in mid 19th century art but is now part of a renewed interest
in alternative photographic process.
Their exhibition is entitled TRACES: a study of the marks left behind
by man and nature, as well as the effects of time and nature upon
humankind, our archeology and our ideas. Each artist brings their
own unique and personal style of work together under a similarity
of vision with the sense of a human presence strongly felt but not
seen.
