Using a pattern that has roots in several Ancient cultures, Meander brings together the colors from a variety of Pride flags. The small printed portraits found throughout the mural come from two sources. Blended together in harmony are linoblock images produced by citizens of Austin of themselves or loved ones as well as artist produced illustrations of persons from the Queer community who have helped moved forward the cause of equality. Scroll down this page to see galleries of all the portraits in the project.
Meander is part of the inaugural 2-D version of the City of Austin's Tempo Public Art Program. Special thanks to the Parks & Recreation department for hosting our community workshops at the Lamar Senior Center and to Midtown Ishmael Law Firm, PC for their financial support.
Changing the Subject
The Women Artists of the Experimental Printmaking Institute
For PrintAustin 2016 and her first exhibition as Director of the Bone Black Gallery FC founder Veronica Ceci worked with Curlee Raven Holton to curate a group exhibition. In 1996 Holton founded The Experimental Printmaking Institute (EPI) at Lafayette College in Easton, PA. EPI has had special emphasis on publishing minority artists. The results of these collaborations have been included in many important collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ceci and Holton put together an exhibition focused on the female artists who had created print works at the EPI. The exhibition then traveled to The New Door Gallery in Baltimore, MD. Selected works from the show are displayed below.
