The Maine Jewish Museum presents "Graphic Realities," an exhibition of works by three Peregrine Press printmakers (current and former) which celebrates the diverse genre of printmaking.
Christine Beneman's series was sparked by an early spring walk along New York's High Line park. Her prints are constructed using a combination of processes; collagraphs, monoprint and trace monotypes. Most of the pieces are then cut out and layered.
Jeanne O'Toole-Hayman's series of prints is a reinterpretation and reconnection to iconic female figures from art history. She uses paper plate lithography, drypoint and relief printing to create new prints and new collages from past and current material.
Jane Banquer's work represents images taken from seacoast Maine locations (and more) and interpreted in black and white and color reduction woodcuts.
