An invitation from Annie Dean, Director of Programs and Exhibitions: For this exhibition, the jury is seeking works that highlight the artists' interpretation of the natural beauty of Cape Cod—the land, sea and skyscapes, as well as the world beneath the sea. Selection of work is based on how prints "speak" to one another visually and thematically to create a viewer experience that encapsulates a sense of beauty.

Red, Right, Returning
Photo transfers, collage, resin
Artist's statement: Chatham’s barrier beaches and inner shorelines constantly change—a dynamic ebb and flow of waves, currents, winds and tide. On April 1, 2017 ocean water surged through a “break” in South Beach creating a navigation channel to Nantucket Sound. Mariners returning from sea, position the red buoy to their right.
Reception: Friday, August 4, 6-8PM
Artist Statement: I do not think of myself as a photographer, printmaker or a painter. Rather— without being identified by a single one—I feel free to move past the confines of traditional media or genres. I draw from and mix together an endless variety of available material. Each digital print begins by choosing images from my extensive collection of scanned original paintings, monoprints, photographs and personal markings. Elements are then layered over one another. Hard edges, line, and color fields combine in surprising ways. Blending modes are used with careful attention to color, form and composition. Transparent multilayers echo fainter versions of shapes and textures. By keeping the process fluid, I enjoy a cross-pollination of the various disciplines. Using my computer as both a tool and a partner, I am free to experiment throughout the process. The resulting combined-media image cannot be made by any other means.

The Invention of Maps
Archival digital print
Reception: Friday, August 4, 6-8PM
Artist Statement: Joseph Campbell writes that all myths deal with transformation of the consciousness of one form or another, either by trial or illuminating revelations. My images represent common themes in women's lives. The photographs never ”tell” but hint at universal stories. I purposely leave the viewer with insufficient information, letting the images evoke an emotional response. Each photograph hovers between the fiction of reality and storytelling.

Because I Can
Archival pigment print
Reception: Friday, August 4, 6-8PM
Artist's statement: Cast from life or not, a mannequin is an idealized human figure. To reflect my sensibilities and understanding of the history of photography, I reprocess film camera and analogue darkroom techniques with an iPhone camera multiple exposure app. Although exposures are random, I can predict specific overlapping results and make only small alterations in the computer darkroom. From different points of view, layers of information superimpose in one print.

Monotypes are paintings on smooth acrylic plates transferred to paper once only. Artists ranging from Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, Ross Moffett, and more recently Joan Snyder and Michael Mazur have used the monotype medium to express a more spontaneous and evocative range of drawing, painting and printmaking combinations.
Students will make painterly spontaneous images on acrylic plates using small rubber brayers, brushes, Oil Bars, or stencils, and oil base etching ink. Dampened 100% rag paper placed on top of the inked plate, and passed through the press with gentle pressure, results in a unique impression that is intimately and permanently bonded with the fibers of the paper. Overprinting and contemporary experimental approaches with larger rollers produce magical surprises. The glistening layers of radiant ink create truly unique images with depth, mystery, memory and delight. Demonstrations each day will help to develop individual explorations. Beginner to advanced students are welcome. Clean-up will be with baby oil or Simple Green.
Zavorskas Print Studio is air-conditioned and close to Quanset Pond and Pleasant Bay beaches.
Juror’s Statement (condensed)
In my mind and through my eyes, this exhibition is an expression of life, creativity, and ultimately, of love. It is through the lens of love that we cherish the days past and the memories. Emotions of longing, pain, and regret are available through exploring history. While it is our collective love of our humanity and the creatures that inhabit the planet that creates concern for others and our home. Finally are the moments of beauty that remind us to be present.
It is through these artists that we can see the world in a new way. We, in the photography world, are in an exciting time of growth in the myriad of ways that photographic artists can express themselves. Old meets new with a mash-up of approaches and a host of techniques unavailable just a few years ago. While the art isn’t about technique, the ways that people are able to make the work have expanded exponentially. We are the beneficiaries of this wave of innovation and creativity.

As some of you may know, I grew up in a very small town, Goodrich North Dakota (current pop. 67). Last summer I took a course with Tillman Crane photographing abandoned homesteads in North Dakota. We spent a week in Minot, the geographical center of North America. I was able to document my grandparents homestead started in 1900. The sod house is long gone but the farmhouse still remains along with memories of my hearts favorite place on earth.

Juror’s statement:
The world from 30,000 feet is a huge puzzle made up of shapes, colors and endless strings of connections and roads. within that chaos we find places to live - we choose a place - the place becomes us and we become that place. When you need to move on, whether by choice or force, you can choose what pieces to take with you… or not.

Story #30
At this complex time in our culture we are being encouraged to express our thoughts and feelings, even though, at the same time, we can face increasing attacks for expressing them. We reached out to artists to discover how this conflicting message is effecting their artistic expression. The artists’ expressions range from the deeply personal to the clearly political, and take diverse forms, from the use of traditional media to the use of new digital media and abstract concepts that speak to our times.

In January of 1943, Peggy Guggenheim shocked the art world by devoting an entire exhibition at her Art of This Century Gallery to women artists only. 31 Women was the first of its kind, devoting the gallery space exclusively to modern women artists, most of whom were operating in New York.
The James Library & Center for the Arts is reinterpreting this revolutionary exhibition as a fundraiser for 2017.

Interpretation of the theme.
Manufacturers design camping trailers with many of the amenities of home—refrigerators, flushing toilets, TVs, air conditioning. Some even come equipped with solar panels. The RV lifestyle is made up of outdoor enthusiasts and of those interested in traveling and camping rather than living in one location. Many retirees “snowbird” to Florida in the winter and return North in spring.
The owners of this camper have established more permanent roots—Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home….
"Home! Sweet Home!" (also known as "Home, Sweet Home") is a song adapted from American actor and dramatist John Howard Payne’s 1823 opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan; the song's melody was composed by Sir Henry Bishop with lyrics by Payne.

Interpretation of the theme:
"Personal Space" is the physical space immediately surrounding someone, into which any encroachment feels threatening to or uncomfortable. In order to maintain a creative balance in my life I need time alone to think, reflect and absorb the visual beauty of my natural surroundings. This happens most often during walks along the beach, in the woods or in my yard.
The increased use of drones impacts individual privacy because they are unwelcome interruptions and uninvited prying eyes when the pursuit of seclusion is the ultimate outcome.

Artist’s statement: Hipstamatic is my favorite iPhone app because of its aesthetics to film photography. I shot a series of photographs from a taxi using multiple exposures to add subtle layers of space-related information. The giant sculpture of Atlas suggests the past as a point of reference to the human activity on the street.
