The Edmonds Arts Commission presents an exhibit of graceful and intriguing prints by April Richardson in the Edmonds Library during the month of April.
Richardson incorporates collage, drawing, painting and printmaking to create large mixed media monotypes. She applies thin layers of ink and paper, scrapes or tears it away, and then rebuilds layer after layer to achieve complex depth and texture. Sometimes she presses leaves or flowers directly into the surface. She loves the physical aspect of printmaking: mixing colors, placing the plate on the press, smoothing the blankets, and turning the wheel.
Richardson’s themes include life and death and everything in between: continuity, repetition, adaptation to circumstance, memory, what happens when light is limited or space is restricted, or what happens when there is too much of a good thing.
The exhibit may be viewed during library hours: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The library is located at 650 Main St. For information, call 425-771-0228.
