Discover a process-driven approach to design through automatic mark-making. We’ll begin with a look at the artist’s art-making practice, which often explores repetition as a way to manage anxiety and create order through delicate, deliberate gestures. Participants will select a simple mark (a dot, dash, hatch, curve, etc.) and a limited color palette of acrylic inks. While working on their piece, participants will build a meditative rhythm and quiet focus through placement, repetition, and attention to negative space.
Jennifer Ryan
Jennifer Ryan’s contemporary artwork features organic design made by creating groups of small lines, each dictated by the last. This process-based practice is explored in various mediums including 2D ink drawings and 3D ceramic vessels, focusing on how it mimics the idea that all systems are created and intertwined by delicate but resilient parts. Her work has been featured locally and nationally in exhibitions including the Albright-Knox Public Art Initiative, UB Arts Collaboratory, Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, Burchfield Penney Art Center, Carnegie Art Center, Flight Gallery, The Crucible Art Collective, The Cass Project, Undergrounds Coffee House and Roastery, Starlight Studio & Art Gallery, and The Allentown Association. In 2018, Jennifer won the George Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Label Contest as Whole Food's choice.
