Statement for Graphica
The Graphica series started as a material driven idea. I had found several roles of commercially printed paper at the local transfer station. This paper with images is the by-product of the stretched fabric industry of Moss Inc. in Belfast. I rolled this paper out on the studio floor and began to cut sections and strips from huge images of corporate logos, car advertisements, abstract designs and other pictures. These fragments served as a background for my painting and linoleum block print designs.
The resulting work in Graphica displays a tangible middle space between the my crude hand work and the highly polished imagery produced by a computer driven press.

Music Performance: Saturday July 5th from 7:30-9:30pm
Scandinachian or Appalnavian is what fresh duo Bennett Konesni and Jeffrey Lewis call their unique blend of acoustic music, informed by Appalachian, Scandinavian, Work Songs, Bluegrass, Old-Time, Farming, Dancing, and exuberance for life.
Bennett and Jeff have been playing together for half a decade, in combinations such as The Free Seedlings, and Fireside. Both have picked up the ability to play almost any string instrument- and regularly carry a fiddle, a mandolin, two guitars, and two banjos wherever they go. Saturday's performance is likely to include a special musical guest, not to miss.
They will give a concert at Aarhus Gallery, Saturday July 5th from 7:30-9:30pm. A $7 suggested donation will be collected at the door, and refreshments will be served.
