Mirabo Press is delighted to announce Capturing Daylight, an exhibition by Madeline Bartley. An artist and printmaker, Bartley appreciates moments of pause and creates work that highlights a quiet and hopeful setting. Her attention is turned to how a sun catcher hung in a window will cast rainbows into a room causing a welcomed distraction from daily life. Bartley creates random compositions and saturated colors by producing one-of-a-kind prints via screenprinting and stencils. She often collages layers of paper or fabric and adds embellishments to incorporate symbolic images such as sun catchers and transparent greenhouses to represent vibrant forms of daylight. Bartley was born in Louisville, KY and her mantra through these past few years living in Buffalo, NY is to practice making slow adjustments in reaction to dramatic changes. She addresses concepts of vulnerability, exploration, and the need for caring maintenance. Transitional in nature, her artworks represent the playful fluidity and sometimes abrupt collision between organic and manmade constructs.

 

Please join us for an exhibition reception on Friday, October 18th from 6-9pm.
