Drewes' use of line and form reminds me of my favorite mid-century modern sculptors and architects. It's a house or a sculpture and beauty on a page... No matter what it is, it is carefully composed. Outstretched wings give flight while the central structure feels solid and grounded.

Carrie Lingscheit’s intaglio prints explore the symbolism and subtleties of human behavior and relationships. This enchanting and somewhat absurd etching, depicting a masked woman with an armful of beloved ferrets (or some other musteline creature), inspires some curious narratives in my mind. I interpret her ferret disguise as a way of creating safety, but I wonder for whom that safety is intended. Does she wear this mask simply to help the ferrets feel safe and secure in her arms, or does her personal sense of safety also require the ferrets to stay close to her? Or, perhaps she truly sees herself as one of them. The viewer can bring their own relational narratives to their interpretation, which is one thing I love about this piece. It is a delightful invitation to explore questions around human attachment and the transformations we experience, whether forced or natural, to stay close to those we love.

"There is a memory-like quality to Lingscheit’s hand-pulled print, with it’s soft plate tones and blank spaces. “Sunday” brings up questions around genderism and Western Christian culture’s long history of upholding patriarchal systems, including men being hunters and providers. Why is it that a hunter’s kill is able to take up space, while women are asked to disappear as outlined voids? Despite the clear allusions to women being at the mercy of men’s decisions, the piece also offers a reclamation of power. In this scene, the women hold the most visual ‘weight’ and ground the entire image with their high contrast and distinct negative space silhouettes - forcing the viewer to acknowledge them."

Carrie Lingscheit's Memento series, the artist is very deliberate in deciding what information is left out and what draws attention into the scene. In Momento No. 5821, there is a large emphasis on body language. It is as if the artist has captured a private moment in time and has allowed us to witness it.
