About the Item

Color lithograph with metal leaf, Edition 30. Provisor returned to Shark’s in August 2002 to produce a new multi-panel lithograph, Living on Laight”. The rich surfaces of these beautiful panels are built up from numerous layers of ink on paper prepared with squares of composition gold, silver and copper metal leaf and metallic gold powder. These surfaces combine with the printed layers to achieve a tactile organic quality and an actual physicality. Provisor’s prints are abstracted from nature, “…it always comes back to nature. Internal…external…lumps and bumps, cells and twigs, and everything in between…pattern and accident together in one space…a lot like life for me”. These prints were during Provisor’s move back to the US after several years in Hong Kong. She says, “…as I was making these pieces I was well aware that my life was in transition. This body of work is in part the expression of my imminent move from East to West.”

A Question of Time
By Evan Colbert
Located in Lyons, CO
The artist describes this project: My lithographs In Between Days and A Question of Time are based on a series of monotypes I have created over the past couple years. In the monotypes I layer color fields, forms, patterns, and arrays of dots or other shapes onto dozens of sheets of paper in a process somewhat like sketching. I collect found objects to use as stencils to physically print from or to photocopy. A few objects used in the making of these prints are perforated metal sheets, wooden wine crate...
