To Conjure: Meditations on the West

Taken by Maggie Stein

What a year! After starting at a graphic design firm, I've begun dividing my time between art-making at home and honing some new graphic skills at work.

I was lucky enough to have an exhibition planned for December of this past year, though, and even before I started working on it, I had a lot of ideas.

Here is statement of the work: This collection of works on paper, shadowboxes and mutoscopes focuses on two individuals separated by distance and unknown landscapes; drawing upon interpersonal dynamics, present-day depictions of the past and the American Old West, it seeks to fill the physical and conceptual void created by longing.

The show opened on December 6 at The WVTF and Radio IQ Studio Gallery, curated by the New City Arts Initiative.

Here are some images from the show. Click to get a closer look!:
