The Long Way Home - Adam Field
In one weeks time I’ll be ready for our journey! My son Juno and I will be making the 8 hour drive from Durango to my hometown, Arvada (a suburb of Denver). While we plan to spend a lot of time with family and friends, I will be dedicating most of our week-long stay to giving a workshop.The venue for this workshop, The Arvada Center of the Arts and Humanities, holds a special spot in my memory. As a young child I took many field trips to the Arvada Center whether it was to see a play, take an art class, view an exhibition, explore the extensive pioneer museum, or just for a picnic I always looked forward to the next visit. << READ MORE >>

“…a complex and experimental process evolves—a way to meditate on the very nature of seeing and consciousness.”
“Pressing the Limits is heavy going, but the exhibit ends in a lighter spirit, in the outer gallery space.”
Pressing the Limits
March 5 - April 5, 2009
Main Gallery
“Pressing the Limits” refers to the presses artists employ to print original graphic works such as woodcut, etching lithograph, collograph, and monotype. For this exhibition “Pressing” has a double meaning alluding as well to the artists’ technical experimentation.
Combining other graphic processes such as photography, digital imaging, solar-plate etching, encaustic, and photogravure- “Pressing the Limits” pushes beyond traditional print processes, and illuminates new methods.
Organized by Hand Graphics studio of Santa Fe, “Pressing the Limits” first exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Center in Las Vegas, NV and features the cutting edge work of four long-experienced and widely-recognized New Mexico printmakers: Michael Costello, Jennifer Lynch, Willis F. Lee, and Mitchell S. Marti.
Opening Reception, March 6, 2009 6-9 p.m. (free)
Artist Talk, March 9, 2009, 10 a.m.
