Theme: Botanical Printmaking

$10 per student Students will explore the Prints and People Before Photography exhibition and then experiment with two different types of printmaking, using both solar-print paper and foam-style materials.

John O’Donnell, Associate Professor of Printmaking at UConn, will give a talk about his artistic research in conjunction with the 2023 Studio Art Faculty Exhibition.

Professor O’Donnell is a printmaker and new media artist who utilizes appropriated images and objects relating to art history, popular media and consumer culture to create rough-hewn assemblages. This collage sensibility reflects temporary solutions and failed ambitions within a culture saturated with irony and perpetual innuendo. O’Donnell has performed at venues across the US and mounted solo exhibitions at the New Britain Museum of American Art; Art Space, New Haven; New Bedford Museum of Art, New Bedford, MA; and Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, OH, among others. Recent residencies include ChaNorth, Pine Plains, NY; Flowerbox Projects, Miami, FL; and Blue House Gallery, Dayton, OH.
