Description of Pictures: Topographies of Life: Pam Rogers, Lynn Sures, Mel Watkin
September 3-December 15, 2019
Presented by the AU Museum Project Space
Using the medium of drawing to varied and distinctive effect, Rogers, Sures, and Watkin trace human connections to the natural world—across time and varied landscapes. The three artists work from both a consciousness of drawing’s ties to illustration and evidence; and, the medium’s unique ability to transmit the artist’s “hand” and personal response to their subject. From the deserts of Kenya, forests of the Midwest, to the Potomac watershed, these artists are deeply attuned to the mutually affecting relationship between the anthropological and natural worlds.

These ancestors of ours were the first artists, I had learned from researchers... I was electrified to know that ochre was used as a decorative or artistic pigment; that Neanderthals had done cave paintings.

KATTOP_190907_100.JPG: Pam Rogers, Lynn Sures, and Mel Watkin use drawing to trace human connections to the natural world-across time and varied landscapes. Each artist works from a consciousness of drawing's ties to illustration, verisimilitude, and the medium's unique ability to transmit the artist's "hand" and personal response to their subject. While drawing is often used for idea generation, studies, or as a foundation toward planning a work of art, for these artists, the practice of drawing is a deliberative and complete process. From the deserts of Kenya, forests of the Midwest, to the Potomac watershed, the works of art express the artists' deep attunement to the mutually affecting relationship between the anthropological and natural worlds.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
