Machines Water Light Mixed Media and Photography by Jes Lee Shimek and Mary Jo Wentz

Machines. Water. Light. brings together

two artists working with photographic images to reimagine the notions of place and time. Jes Lee Shimek uses digital photography to explore location and light and Mary Jo Wentz works with collage and alcohol inks to examine the history of machines and their surroundings. Their individual approaches to how an image is created and read are steeped with poetics and beauty.

 

In conjunction with this exhibit Mary Jo Wentz is leading an Alcohol Ink and Yupo Paper workshop at 1pm prior to the Public Reception on Jan 14. More information and a link to register for the workshop can be found here http://www.hutchinsonarts.org/education/adult-workshops/
