Third Place award, a mosaic called April 26th, 6:32am by Jen Wager, is a wonderful mix of art and craft. It shows a cityscape, the kind we city dwellers might see out of our bathroom or bedroom windows; a view of the messy alleyways and haphazard building silhouettes that make up the private view of a public city. It is a view which feels like home to me. The impressionistic nature of the mosaic at this scale, contrasting light and dark, mixing both detail and abstraction, complexity and simplicity, feels somehow intimate and public at the same time. Annual Members Show Judge Kyle Van Horn is a designer and printmaker who lives and works in Baltimore, MD. Kyle, along with his wife Kim Bentley, are the owners of Baltimore Print Studios, a public-access Screenprinting, Letterpress, and Risograph Studio in Baltimore City, where he teaches workshops, maintains equipment, and creates custom solutions to weird specific problems. Founded in 2010, the studio is now located in the Woodberry neighborhood where they teach monthly classes and rent studio time to the public. Kyle is also the Studio Manager for the Printmaking Department at MICA. Graduating with a BFA in Painting in 2003, he returned to work there in 2004 and has been working on the technical side of academic fine arts ever since. When he's not managing one print studio or another, he can be found spending time with his family, tinkering in his small wood shop, or designing and building custom tools and equipment for papermaking and printmaking studios, house, and life. |
