Encumbered

Encumbered is a collection of prints created by a group of emerging artists, which includes: Suzi Barlow, Lauren Huot, Vanessa Mastronardi, Morgan Melenka and Cara Seccafien. As recent graduates from the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the University of Alberta, this exhibition is a collection of self-directed work that explores the concept of humanity and is the product of each of the artists’ diverse background.

Sharing a common desire to latch onto the fundamentals of humanity in their artwork, these artists use this exhibition as a container for ideas that question, break apart, and embrace the concept in each of their separate art practice. Their common commitment to introspection and examination unites them as a community of printmakers while individually unique in their range of interests, sensitivities, and techniques, as well as differing goals as emerging artists.

Opening Reception: June 13, 7-9 pm.
