LONG BEACH ISLAND FOUNDATION OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES 2023 WORKS ON PAPER

2023 WORKS ON PAPER

Welcome to 2023 Works on Paper

Saturday, May 20 -

Tuesday, July 4, 2023

“Works on Paper” 2023, the 25th Annual National Juried Competition and Exhibition, launches our summer season at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences.

This exhibition is made possible by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

We are pleased to present the artwork of seventy-six artists who live and work across twenty-seven states in the US. The variety of media eligible for submission and consideration included drawing, painting on paper, hand pulled prints, photographic prints, digital works on paper, and paper constructions completed in the past two years.

Scale, color, texture, light, do not have the same impact when translated to a screen. We need that intimacy and that creative spark that art provides to nourish our souls and imagination. No screen or device can replace the immediacy and “in person” visual experience of seeing a work of art with our own eyes.

The Works on Paper exhibit provides the opportunity to acknowledge the talent, innovation and individuality of eighty art works and the intangible relationship that forms between the work and the viewer.

The LBIF was established in 1948 as an institution whose mission was to foster the highest level of the arts and to bring artists,

educators, and patrons together to celebrate art as a passion and a driving cultural force.

Thank you to all the artists whose work we applaud today. They have provided us with reminders of the beauty, complexity, abstraction and a moment in time of the visual world around us.

This year we are honored to have as our juror Marilyn Symmes, Independent Curator. She has a stellar career and extraordinary insights, knowledge and experience in the realm of Drawings and Prints. She has curated countless exhibitions at numerous prestigious institutions. She has provided her exceptional expertise to select the artwork for this exhibition and to the awarding of prizes. We truly thank her for her support and her curatorial vision.

A special thank you goes to Tracey Cameron and Katherine Whitlock for the design and creation of this catalog. In addition, we are grateful to Gail Sidewater as Co-Chair of Arts and Exhibitions and to our Art Exhibition Committee members who work tirelessly to organize and present robust and diverse art exhibitions, lectures and programs each year.

Juror’s Statement

Gaze. Scattered Reds. Trees and Spotted Lantern Flies. Wild Rivers. Mythmaker. Icarus Grey. Misfortune. Original Intent. What is America? E-Smoke and Beer. Past Present Future.

This sampling of tantalizing titles found in Works on Paper 2023 are clues to what today’s artists are exploring and visualizing. Selected from hundreds of submissions (strong proof that cultural creativity continues to thrive), this exhibition serves as a microcosm of varying perspectives about people, places, things, language and other realms imagined. What was each artist’s intent, and how well was that intent communicated? The exhibition includes works showing individual responses to aspects of nature, daily life, memory, or our unsettling times. From concept to image, these artists use their distinctive skills to create intriguing constructed worlds on paper via various media, colors, shapes, textures, networks, compositions and styles (representational to abstract). From a universe of possibilities and choices, across the centuries, artists produce art for viewers to contemplate. With this juried art exhibition—a unique temporary gathering connecting artists and viewers—we have eighty opportunities to determine what artwork grabs our gaze and curiosity more than once, thereby recharging us with fresh morsels of truth and insight.

Works on Paper

From very early on I have recognized the power of strong images to stir us deeply without introduction or explanation. “Hallway” is an invention that will, hopefully,elicit strong echoes in the sensitive viewer’s imagination.

As many of us realized, it turns out that living through a global pandemic is incredibly exhausting! After a couple of months, I began to work on copper plate etchings. I found that focusing on portraiture, and rendering through observation specifically, to be incredibly meditative. Working on these plates felt more like solving a logic problem than making a piece of art.

What is America? What themes and concerns do we see in the voices of those that have come before us? This series explores these voices in the here and now to ask the viewer: America is...

The Morning brings the color and chatter of the bluejay. The graphic shapes add the vibrant sound and color of the morning.

Unintelligible Life is an artist book featuring Japanese paper treated with Suminagashi and Lego relief printing in Morse Code relaying a story of what life is “supposed” to be.

I was walking on Christmas Day this year and came upon this view from the covered bridge of Bull’s Bridge Pond reservoir over the Housatonic River in Kent, Connecticut. I was mesmerized by the churning and roaring water, creating swirling patterns from the waterfalls and rapids.

There seems to be some sort of different way of looking at “rights” recently—I’m just wondering what they could possibly mean by all this…

The components of these images are derived primarily from notebook drawings which are a means of personal exploration to at best resolve, and at least come to terms with, experience.

My style is characterized by a realistic representation of the subject matter, but with a unique twist of incorporating elements of storytelling to convey a deeper message or narrative. I believe that art should not only be visually pleasing but also meaningful and thought-provoking

13

My work focuses on the art of storytelling and the tools in which stories are documented. For Mythmaker, I used an 1920’s Underwood typewriter which I drew from observation.

10

The individual mark—the essential dot—and how it merges with other marks to contribute to the whole, comprises a fundamental aspect of the Counting Grid series. The handmade aesthetic injects a feeling of life into each image, separating it from similar, stale images that a software program could make.

14

My still lifes focus on objects with similar color palettes, tones and values. I am interested in the relationship to the objects and the feelings and emotions they project.

11

Presented on folded paper, “embedded” shows four trailer parks surrounded by newer residential developments. It offers an unsentimental aerial view of how urban communities are created and organized in America today.

15

I grew up in Southern India and am now a resident of Jersey City. I was trained in the traditional Sumi-e painting technique. My practice draws inspiration from Indian, Japanese, and Western aesthetics.

12

An engraving based on Albrecht Dürer’s “The Little Fortune” from 1495-1496, putting my own twist on the theme, changing the head to a goat, and changing the flower to a begonia, symbolizing bad luck or misfortune.

I am a southern West Virginian artist whose current fixation is on printmaking, partially working with linoleum blocks.

Works on Paper

The selection of wasted materials is a statement and a creative act, creating new dynamics in the social body, which would not be generated if the materials were bought online or in a physical store. Wandering the city in search of materials is our revolutionary act against capitalism.

My work depicts our natural world in a hyper-natural way. It’s an evocation of its beauty amidst the climate crisis, finding inspiration from memories of the coastal ecosystems I grew up around and places I’ve explored.

My work centers around depicting everyday life. Working with layers of watercolor pigment and at times mixed media, I intend to invoke an emotion or sense of belonging, accomplishment, pride, and JOY. The layers of color provide an undeniable series of atmospheres that can serve symbolically for emotional, personal, and social spaces.

The photographs were taken on Long Beach Island with long shutter speeds. Two with a still camera allowing the motion of the sea to create softness and one photo with intentional camera movement showing a bit of abstraction as well.

I am an oil painter living in southern Vermont. I paints the landscape around me, as well as locations from my travels to remote places around the world.

My main enjoyment when making art comes from depicting human emotions through my portraits.

I explore the mutual influence the space and the figure exert on each other, the intricate interplay between the characters and their worlds.

Because of painting “them”, I found a way to communicate with “them”, and realized the distance between me and them, and the distance between the body and the soul.

I work in watercolor and pen and ink at the interface of science and art, in themes of botany, geology, and conservation. My works focus attention on things slight, small, and ephemeral and are connected to my experience of place.

In my work, I share myself. I observe simple things from daily life and share them through my eyes; highlighting invisibles. Expressing different possibilities through visual and conceptual antagonists.

I recently pivoted to oyster farming in my journey of recovery from breast cancer. Adaptation, creating, and growth; while also not wanting to miss the details and beauty in everyday life and objects are all themes explored in my work.

I make art about psycho-geographical mapping that shows people’s emotional, psychological, and cultural connections with their surroundings.

The material thinking process enables knowledge production that emerges before things become representational or symbolic. Materiality comes about through sensory processes that enable otherwise indescribable things to emerge.

I explore transience in contemporary life through pervasive symbols such as cut flowers. This collage is made from 2,000 gouache-painted pieces on Japanese gampi paper.

Works on Paper

I am an Illustrator and Fine Artist based in New Jersey. I enjoy creating my illustrations with bright colors and creative shapes using an array of both digital and traditional painting techniques.

Images of people against the landscape, gathering together, moving apart, from place to place, against the land and sky, create familiar visual patterns of human drama- visual echoes beyond a specific narrative.

Paper is a historical technology that is able to record creativity. Be it a metaphor for cultural heritage as a relation between nature and artifice or as a physical stand-in for conscious thought, paper’s double focus has always appealed to me.

My current body of work explores issues associated with the societies and politics of contemporary Mexican and Mexican American Cultures. I am inspired by my personal experiences growing up as a Mexican immigrant in California and the Midwest.

My imagery draws from life experiences to explore a world of familial intimacy, its impact on adolescent sexuality, and the resulting complicated yearning for personal joy as an adult.

The work in this series refers to how we assign meaning to our chance experiences through rituals and signs. Using a random assortment of objects as meaning-making devices, I’m giving space for viewers to connect the dots for themselves in an interpretive and reflexive manner.

Old Soul #2 came from a wood pile of large tree sections downed by disease or stormy weather. The cut section exposed the scars and lines of a long life.

Artists

My work uses thick and thin paper cut into shapes and designed so that everyone can build in their mind’s eye an interpretation shaped by the art design. Although I make the art in collaboration with the medium, the viewer of the art creates anew their own interpretation.

My illustrative painting practice often feature interiors filled with objects that delight me - by painting these intimate spaces, filled with those objects of desire, I fulfill and curb my own consumerist urges and dreams for love and companionship.

My work is a reflection of what I see within this world and how my mind transforms it. As I translate my physical and mental emotions, I extract shapes, patterns and colors as visual metaphors.

Utilizing fantastical elements, I restore parts of humanity that have been stripped, lost, or forgotten in order to cultivate healing and empathy.

My imagery derives from compositions I witness as I live out my life, selected because they speak to me emotionally while at the same time reminding me of the inherent beauty in the world, hidden in plain sight.

I love charcoal for its immediacy, its responsiveness and surprises. This drawing of Pines Lake, my home now, is an atmospheric study of water, distance, and light.

This collage is one piece of an ongoing archival project that uses folders made from pulped dictionaries as a way to explore and reconsider the boundaries that distinguish linguistic and theoretical categories.

There is an inherent beauty in commonly observed views which I am trying to portray in a fresh and unconventional manner. I love geometric shapes against the sky.

As artists and architects, we’re fascinated by the compelling harmony in contrasts like constraint and freedom, boundaries and breakthroughs, achieving equilibrium in art and space through opposition, unveiling potential in both confinement and liberation.

53 Eileen McGlynn

My artwork is part of a cyanotype print series for which I used hand-picked wild plants as subject matter. My aim was to highlight the aesthetic attributes of these plants which often times are only seen as noxious weeds.

October Reflections Photographic Weaving

50 Miranda Maher

I combine materials: ‘ready-made’ decorative papers, historical maps, or images with my ink drawing. I combine ideas that conflict. In “Wild Rivers” I map Earth’s rivers in a decorative, rambunctious way with titles full of personality…using human love of things sparkly and charming to suggest these rivers are alive… but under the playfulness is a connection to old cultures’ honoring of the aliveness of Earth’s waters.

51 Hanna Mahon

This quilt is made of the sticky notes that helped me survive personal and collective loss over the past three years. Patchworking has always been a way of turning mundane fragments into something warm, something beautiful.

54 Nathan Meltz

This is the first in a series of studies of the magic automaton summoned to protect the disenfranchised. Manufactured out of clay and sorcery in the 16th century, the original golem Yosef set out to protect the persecuted Jews of Prague. Where would a 21st Golem manifest? Who would he protect?

55

Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro and many followers were imprisoned here where he wrote his collective defense speech for all. The revolution, its leaders, and its politics outlived the prison. Printed on archival paper, framed, matted, and signed as part of a numbered limited edition.

52 Denise Marshall

I’m a photographic weaver. I deconstruct my photographs and weave them back together using different fine art papers. This helps to create innovative effects with the weave creating new art.

I am a realist artist who draws from direct observation. With the ballpoint pen, I have to be thoughtful about my drawing choices but accepting of the results.

My work centers on patterns, textures, and dimension seen in my travels

My photographic images completely change character when I transform them into a Mandala. Traditionally, a Mandala is used to signify a sacred space which contains a circle. Here, the center point balances the visual elements, symbolizing unity and harmony, both which joyfully contribute to my process.

Natalie Portrait 1 is the first portrait of my friend Natalie. This portrait serves as a study for the artist to find my style, approach, and use of color in my paintings.

My analog photographs are made with a pinhole camera, and are developed and printed using methods that are as environmentally sustainable as possible. My presence in the image is incidental.

Who hasn’t ever taken a selfie? They speak volumes about our personality and self-image. How do you think about yourself?

Juxtaposing antique toys and colorful balloons against utilitarian objects, I use high-chroma color and deep shadows, seeking a balance between realism and acknowledging the physicality of oil paint.

I create varied editions in screen and other print mediums. Icarus Grey refers to the color depicted in the artwork.

60

I’m an an abstract artist whose imagery melds poetic impulse with networks of shapes. My current work with corrugate, the by-product of our throwaway society, brings up issues of what gives art value.

I use digital drawing programs to create artwork based on natural themes. I employ basic geometric shapes and color blocking along with repeating patterns and gradients and find these techniques lend themselves well to landscape and other natural objects.

I am a recently retired Clinical Social Worker. As a retired person, I am redirecting my focus to my interest in creativity and the arts.

69

My art invites viewers to consider the interplay between light and shadow, the poignancy of memory, and the subtle undercurrents of emotion that shape our lives.

66

Using graphite and colored pencils, I am attempting to re-create the feeling of old Japanese hand-tinted photographs.

70

My images are impromptu snapshots of the world as I walk around in it. Once captured I then explore the image and work to reveal the story that is within.

67 Andy Ross

I strive to explore issues of meaning, context, authorship, and creativity, using fresh personal formal techniques.

71

River Rocks is a two-plate etching, using copper plates, printed on somerset paper. Both plates are aquatints. On the first, I drew lines close together using a sharpie to resist the acid. On the second, I drew rock forms and used asphaltum to block the shapes to etch them.

68

These pieces are a fantasy geology where divergent continents collide, which actually happens, although not in this exact configuration. But the layers of geology also point to layers of time, in this case not so far in the past with a lava flow from maybe 500 years ago and glacier ice that is probably not more than one thousand years old that crumbled into the sea at Palmer Station, Antarctica.

72

I use an expressionist combination of materials to engage portraiture and cityscape through the lens of social theory, creating interpretations of the home, the subway, the street, and other complex social arenas.

My work finds itself expressed in a variety of media but is typically realized three dimensionally or lens based media.

74 Peter Towson

From climate change to our overdependence on technology, humans continue to remove themselves from the natural world. In our quest to improve daily life we have instead isolated ourselves. My pictures are a way of processing this complex modern society.

78 Geoff Weiser

This piece is part of the Macro Dinero series which uses cropping and scale to re-contextualize the beautiful design of vintage currency from around the world.

75

These works explore shapes in the natural world. All the forms in these drawings are ones that I’ve observed during my time in nature. I’ve rearranged them into fantastical forests of my imagination.

79

Time only moves in one direction. This unidirectional path leaves behind both positive and negative aspects. What is here to stay? What will remain? What will be remembered?

80

This drawing combines visuals which reference personal memories. The process is similar to collage as pieces are brought together to form the whole, much in the way memory is recalled.

This abstract cartography is part of a series called “Talking Circles” which have been used throughout history to create a respectful and peaceful place for people to understand differences, celebrate common ground and hopefully learn that we are all more alike than different.

This work is an exploration of the roles of textile, color, and fashion in the origin story of landfill culture. This project includes a sample book of domestic fabric swatches gathered from my clothes and bedding, and a series of seven collages. Text was culled from 1977-78 Home Furnishing Color Card, and The Wastemakers, written by Vance Packard in 1960.

Clark Valentine Judith Hummer

My drawings document a contemplative process of mark-making. Referencing various traditions of mysticism, my artwork balances an active meditation of the mind and passive response of the hand.

Working on yupo paper is a challenge and a thrill. It is exciting to discover new ways with which to express my thoughts. I look for a different way of presenting my subject, employing an unusual technique or perspective with which to engage the viewer.

The Peggi Einhorn First Prize

Peggi Einhorn, a former LBIF Board member, enjoyed a life-long love for creating and studying art.

After a college major in Art History, Peggi first worked in museums (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Jewish Museum and The National Endowment of the Arts), before embarking on successful careers in banking at J .P. Morgan Chase and in philanthropy as the C.F.O. of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Peggi loved to draw and illustrate almost anything in her line of sight — from candid caricatures of her co-workers, to memorable scenes from far flung vacation spots, to LBI’s natural beauty. But Peggi’s favorite art form was life drawing — nothing was more interesting to her than capturing the complexity of the human form. Over the past 20 + years, Peggi enjoyed many of the art classes and exhibitions at LBIF, including participating in a recent LBIF faculty student art exhibition. Having the bay, the ocean and the arts all just a short bike ride from her Harvey Cedars home made LBI her perfect place.

Peggi passed away in February 2023, after a two year battle with brain cancer. Her family has established this annual prize for the Works on Paper exhibition in celebration of Peggi’s creativity, generous spirit and uncommon grace.
