New Art Show: Rooted by Amy Rice

Labels:

,


    One of my favourite artists, Amy Rice has two shows happening this month and what's cool is one is in the US (Philadelphia, PA) and one here in Canada (Victoria, BC).  The first one I'm mentioning is Rooted, at the Art Star Gallery in Philadelphia, PA. (October 7th through November 20th)
    In this body of work, I have used artifacts; found items and uncommon mediums: prints on antique handwritten letters of love and loss, feed sack bags from my family farm, antique atlas pages, and the string from last year’s morning glories among other things. Rooted celebrates 100% completion, hard work paying off, fall festivals, and earnest endeavors.-Amy Rice 2011

Amy Rice Letterpress/Sign Press Contest (of sorts)

Labels:
    new print rack

    Artist Amy Rice bought a 1940’s Line-o-Scribe Letterpress/ Sign Press at an antique sale last fall. She also bought a bunch of antique atlases for art making about the same time and it turned out they were a great size and weight for the press. The idea of song lyrics about place/ travel/ journey on maps was exciting for her because it fits in thematically with her other work, and because she loves music.

    Here's where you come in (and the contest): Amy has created a certain criteria for her song lyric map prints which you can read here. If you can suggest to her a song lyric to go with this series and she uses it, she will mail you one of the prints for free on the state or country of your choosing. You may leave your suggestion at her flickr or her Amy Rice Art Face Book Page: www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Amy-Rice- Click here for more info.
