Melissa Schulenberg, Printmaker, will give a presentation this evening,
Wednesday, October 16, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. in Yokum Hall, room 205.
Schulenberg’s
work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, most notably in
Australia, Ireland, Japan and New Zealand. Her work takes inspiration from
observed organic forms, the natural landscape, and her immediate
surroundings. At times her work offers the viewer two options
simultaneously, presenting images as broad vistas and as microscopic
investigations. These “scapes,” as she calls them, may contain a horizon
yet offer a view into a smaller, contained environment. More recently, she
thinks of her work as a process of building her own “alphabet,” forming
visual vocabularies into new and unusual compositions. Formal explorations
use her “alphabet” of stripes, humps and stumps, scars, thread, totems,
shadows, woven textures and a torus shape, to name a few. Each composition
aims to present a new compilation of visual notations, continually building
and rearranging and playing with a growing visual alphabet.

The Visual Artist Lecture Series is made possible through the support of
the Student Association.  All presentations are free and open to the public.
