The Voice in the Hand

Petaluma Arts Centre, Petaluma, CA, USA

28 Sept - 4 Nov 2023

Exhibition Curated by Macy Chadwick

This exhibition highlighted the unique tactile qualities, or "visual voice" of handmade books and prints. The artwork selected for this show exemplified the varied visual vocabulary inherent in printmaking and book arts. Just as no two voices are alike, each of these pieces reflect not only the visual choices of the artist – concept, colors, composition – but the very kinetic energy of their hand, captured in the act of making.

Participating artists include: Farnaz Fatemi, Amanda Moore, Erin Fong, Ingrid Ankerson, e bond, Alexandra Chappell, Lois Harada, Nancy Loeber, Phoebe Todd-Parrish, Meg Pohlod, Nicholas Shick, Edie Overturf, Jessica Spring, AB Gorham, Melissa Wagner-Lawler, Annegret Frauenlob, Selena Matranga, wood + paper + box (Katie Baldwin, Mariko Jesse, and Yoonmi Nam), Sarah Bryant, Katherine Warinner, Elysabeth Cianci, Eunkang Koh, Ruben Castillo, Hannah Theiss, Kristina Nobleman, Nora Pauwels, Michael and Roxanne McGovern.
