“Proof”

“Proof” teams writers and artists to create editions of literary broadsides and artist’s prints. In some cases the artist responded to words provided by the writer; some writers produced new work after conversations with the artist; and still other pairs worked closely together to produce new collaborative works. This intersection of word, image and the process of creative dialogue are at the heart of “Proof.”

Making and teaching art occupy most of the time that I am awake. Process is very important to my work; the nature of making woodcut prints (my primary images) is time consuming. Because it is a traditional process that is not widely used, I also teach relief printmaking, so that it will be around in the future. The multifaceted aspect of my creative practice that includes public art and residencies (National Parks, Historical Buildings, small towns, etc.), also embraces the authenticity of American traditions, craftsmanship and skills that are handed down.

Since 2001, [John Cutrone and Seth Thompson] have been driving forces at Florida Atlantic University’s Jaffe Center for Book Arts . . . with the sole regret that that work, as satisfying as it is, leaves little time for their own presswork. Patience is a good thing to cultivate. For better or for worse, this team is perhaps best known for its own stories of Lake Worth and its quirky inhabitants, sent out into the world electronically via The Convivio Dispatch, an occasional e-newsletter from the press.

Miami is a tropical landscape as well as a bustling city.  Exotic plants and amazing animals coexist and clash with our everyday existence.  This daily duality of city and jungle goes unnoticed by the city’s human inhabitants, distracted by our own thoughts and tasks. Although we may not make note of these inconsequential observations, the visual and sensorial imprints of this underlying natural world linger in our subconscious minds. This series of “city animals” highlights some of the everyday dismissed disdained and disregarded co inhabitants of our living environments.

My preferred medium is illustration. I work mostly with illustration digitally colored. For me this references the genre of comic book art, which I have been a fan since I was little. Utilizing this style draws people in because they are bright and inviting. By the time the viewer is committed to looking at the work, the unexpected subject matter taps into human emotion.

The culture of printmaking is an important influence on the works in this exhibition. Though many of the works are prints, none is part of an identical edition; Hudspeth exploits the possibilities of the multiple in such a way as to rephrase and reframe visual statements in order to better build an internal language of meaning. Engraving, lithography, mezzotint, etching and silkscreen are used together with collage to both evoke and undermine art-historical traditions. Methods are combined, artifacts from the printmaking process, such as pin and registration holes, remain in the works, the contemporary photo-litho technique is used to reproduce hand-drawn imagery—intentionally without the assistance of digital processes, and media which are static and sticky are used to depict fluid, painterly marks.
