Selected Works
The Andrew Shire Gallery is pleased to present Paper, a unique exhibition exploring the work of 10 artists who use paper as the specific medium. The artists are Joshua Aster, Claire Baker, Barbara Berk, Mieke Gelley, Margaret Griffith, Pamela Jorden, Timothy Nolan, Gelah Penn, Milenko Prvacki and Carol Sears.
Paper is a ubiquitous material, used in the every day, books, magazines, posters, milk cartons, candy wrap, and more. The flexibility of this dynamic material is highlighted through a range of artistic techniques, drawing, painting, ink on paper, performance, collage, cutouts and mixed media assemblage.
A highly interactive material, paper is uniquely responsive to each artist’s treatment of it, and the exhibition is a culmination of years of rich and varied interpretation of the medium, where distinct voices find powerful, memorable expression.
