A Last Look—Proofs: A Unique Suite of 25 Silkscreen Prints by Nicholas D'Ornellas
Opening Thurs. May 2, 2024 6:00--9:00 PM On View May 3 - 30 by appointment
In the screenprinting process, it is customary to test print each layer on a proof sheet of paper before applying it to the final print. Pulling a proof sheet is a useful method for making corrections and a convenient way to observe how the ink sits on the substrate, its color, and opacity. In the editioning process, the proof sheets are typically discarded and not included as part of the final edition. In D’Ornellas’ series A Last Look–Proofs, the artist brings to light the immediate and nuanced nature of the screen printing process. These prints hold all of the initial pulls of each layer test printed for a series of works titled A Last Look.. This suite of 25 unique prints are physical and metaphorical ‘proofs’ of a body of work depicting familial documents and empty rooms of the artist's childhood home. The proof sheets enter a different realm of consciousness for D’Ornellas as they negate a yearning to be perfect prints but rather serve as tools to attain one.

JC Print Room presents an exhibition of new linocuts by Barbara Seddon
“In April I traveled to New Orleans where I saw many fantastic jazz artists perform. My favorites were Dr. Michael White and the other musicians in his band. These linocuts are my attempt to reproduce the gestures and posture of each artist as well as the various instruments. I have layered the images on a plain orange background which darkens the ultramarine blue of the image. Linocuts seem perfect for this subject because the “noise” in the carvings also reflects visually the sound of the jazz they produce.”
