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...

"Untitled I"
By Barbara Takenaga
Located in Lyons, CO
Color monotype.
Barbara Takenaga's latest prints are a series of Untitled hand colored monotypes, which she describes as follows: Making these monotypes was a wonderful new experience for me. They combine a painterly, abstract background with a graphic structure of hard edged, flat forms. Those dark shapes can be read as either positive/foreground space (body silhouettes or curtains) or as negative space that frames a central image (landscapes, columns, creatures). Similarly, the white lines and dots...

At Sight of Sun (lark bunting)
By Kara Maria
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph, Edition 20.
The artist describes this project:
“Human activity is causing the mass extinction of plant and animal species at an alarming rate. I paint carefully rendered, miniature portraits of endangered animals into larger compositions to raise questions about Earth’s biodiversity crisis and the place of wildlife within increasingly unstable habitats. The swirling and exploding shapes and colors represent how our progressively chaotic environment is displacing fauna and the systems that support it.
This lithograph includes an image of Colorado’s state bird, the lark...
