Sebastopol Center for the Arts, Print Show with "Unmoored" Quilt

We took a little field trip to Sebastopol, California, about an hour's drive from our house, to see the latest exhibit at the Sebastopol Center for the Arts and to visit my quilt, "Unmoored" which was juried into the show Impressions in Ink, Celebrating Printmaking in All Forms. Many forms were indeed present, from monotypes to screenprints to etchings to stone lithography, and structures from prints to books to textiles. It is a roomy space, with enough work in it to be engaging, but room for each piece to breathe. It took a few walks through to get a feel for what was there; not all of the placements had works that spoke well to one another, although a wall of prints with trees was cohesive, as was a wall of bold black and white prints. Definitely a wide variety of work. I found myself drawn to the layered and textured look.

The show continues through February 2, 2025; 282 S. High Street, Sebastopol, CA. 

A few photos, follow. Here is "Unmoored" on the left.

The sculpture on the pedestal is a map-fold book by Katherine Venturelli.

Hanging: Giny Dixon's "Power of Five,"

On the far right: Kyoko Fischer's "Fragment of Moon and Thread", etching, thread

A few that appealed to me for their textures and colors:

Vera Fainshtein's "Japantown San Francisco" Triptych, monotypes

Julia Nelson-Gal's "Whiz", monotype

Cindy Ostroff's "Fault Line", stencil print, rust print, botanical print

Gail Morrison's "Shadow Vase", etching with chine colle

(note the fingerprints for the shading!)

Tallmadge Doyle's "Algae Universe II", etching with hand coloring

There was also a small station set up for playing with rubber stamps. 

From there we walked a short distance to Florence Ave, where there are sculptures made from junk by Patrick Amiot along the whole street.

If you go, may I suggest Cozy Plum for a vegan lunch?

A very satisfactory field trip, enjoyed by all.
