Gallery Talk
Friday, February 2, 2007 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm | | | John Clarke
flowers' stain & fingerprint Opening Reception
Friday, February 2, 2007 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm | | John Clarke graduated from Bates College with a degreee in classical music composition. It is no surprise then, to see the lyrical compositions he creates in two dimensions. Over the past six years, Clarke has amassed a large and disparate collection of flowers from friends, family, strangers and from the side of the road. Clarke begins his unique printing process by pressing the source material. Each month Clarke selects specimens from the hundreds he has pressed and travels to a small printing company in central Massachusetts where he scans the images and works with color separations. He than manipulates the images until they are enlarged up to 400% of their original size. Clarke works to maintain the original qualities of the flower while manipulating details to become magnified and clearer. Included in the exhibition are Clarke's new monoprints which are multi-layered and presented in book-like form. |

In a twist on the medieval practice of the artist guild, five artists from the hill-towns of Montague, New Salem and Wendell, Massachusetts meet weekly to motivate and support artistic growth and development.

"Stimulus" refers to a cue that the members use to produce new works, and every month a different member of the group determines a new stimulus. The exhibition at Central Gallery will feature several works by each member. All are welcome to meet the artists at the opening reception.
