"Mark Making" at the Firehouse Art Center

The artwork in “Mark Making” invites the viewer to step in and look closely at the work, recognizing subtleties in the medium, such as the way the artist’s hand may move or shake, the texture of the wall or paper, the space between the drawn or painted line and negative space. All of these choices are intentional. The power of these works derives from the immediacy of the moment, valuing creative process over product, focusing on the present relationship between artist and audience, and between art and life. As the creative process for each artist is different, how they approach the meaning of the act of mark making itself is also unique. In this exhibition, mark making becomes a pathway to ideas of marking time, marking paths, marking breath and marking form.

Featured in this exhibition are Colorado artists Deborah J. Haynes, Gayle Crites, Jennie Kiessling and Kaitlyn Tucek.

Exhibition runs Jan. 6 to Jan. 27, 2016

Admission is free!
