Seasoned Ground | Martha Street Studio Exhibition & Sale
30 November – 28 January 2023
Just in time for the holiday season, come to GBG and enjoy seeing work by some of the province’s finest printmakers and maybe find the perfect gift!
Spanning intimate interiors and expansive environments, Seasoned Ground burrows into the intimacies of place and space and finds nourishment in the small corners of familiar rooms and cozy diversions.
Through radical explorations of colour and shape, Seasoned Ground express faith in the power of sustained looking and thoughtful contemplation. From the Escher-like paradox of an endless yet self-contained staircase, to playfully inquisitive arrangements of matchsticks, Seasoned Ground reveals a depth that sustains us.
Meandering through a diverse range of printmaking techniques, from the soft subtleties of intaglio and lithography to the sharp shouts of linocut and relief printing, Seasoned Ground carries reflections and meditations through 35 years of printmaking at Martha Street Studio into the dynamic currents of today.
