WED. APR. 7. 3:00 PM EST - In Home Bound, artist/educator Blake Sanders will discuss his artwork centered around his family's complicity in ecological impact and being a good neighbor in a competitive, consumerist society. He explores these themes through an expansive printmaking practice and connection to the international print community.
Most of the materials that comprise these works are repurposed: from the fabric passed down from quilting friends and family or recycled from previous projects, to the inks left behind by students in the collective studio stash, to the printed curtains comprised of donated, decommissioned hotel linens. The conservation employed in these projects challenges the “every family for themselves” mindset, instead promoting a practice that ensures there are resources for all and messes for no one in the neighborhood.
