Critical Points
Solo Show at Weyrich Gallery, 2935 D Louisiana Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM weyrichgallery.com
First Friday Artist Reception: September 7, 2018, 5–8:30pm
Artist Talk: Saturday, September 15, 1–2pm
Trish Meyer, originally from Dublin, Ireland, has enjoyed a variety of creative careers from musician to graphics designer for film and video, before falling under the spell of printmaking.
For Critical Points, Meyer works with paper and fiber placing an emphasis on experimental processes, combining calligraphic marks with hybrid printmaking and 19th century photographic techniques. Her Critical Points show offers subtle political commentary, hidden in plain sight inside her abstract designs and mark-making.
To learn more about the techniques and ideas behind Meyer’s new body of work, join us on September 15 for a fascinating Artist Talk where she will describe her process from computer-generated imagery to cyanotypes and hand-cranked traditional printmaking. She will also reveal to you the messages – many ultimately uplifting, despite today’s political climate – concealed inside her work.
