Pat Feeney Murrell "Embodied"
Noho Gallery / M55
This event has ended.
Most recently Pat has focused on lithographic body imprints and handmade paper body wrappings. Conceptually the body acts as a persona for Man's spirit - a way of investigating his inner nature. This focus remains unchanged throughout the artist's work. The processes used also remain unchanged.
Only the presentation has changed a bit - to sculptural book forms which emphasize not only the entire body but especially hands and feet. These are signifiers of human growth that firmly place Man as standing - striding forward - lighting fires and making tools.
Processes used to print these books are digital - transfers of images to fine print papers using the hand lithographic press. This allows for multiple manipulations of images in size, shape, texture and scale.
Also exhibited are several body imprints executed as lithographs layered over monotypes and mounted
on archival signboard sprayed with black flax handmade paper. The contrast between these two print methods is intriguing and instructive.
