Recollection: First Friday in April

March 25, 2010

We are so excited to welcome Nashville-based printmakers Brad Vetter and Adrienne Miller to our gallery. Their show “ReCollections” is a wonderful grouping of printed objects. They are wonderful friends Tim met while interning at Hatch Show Print this past fall.

Recollections Artist Statement:
Knowing that everyone has shared life experiences, we are drawing on our own personal memories to create objects that honor times gone by and moments possibly soon forgotten. Through found objects scavenged from anonymous spaces and the use of printmaking techniques to make multiples, we are trying to insure that ideas and items that may have reached the end of their functional life continue to be glorified beyond their intended purpose. Our collective paraphernalia all speaks to memory and experience having an inherent power and influence over everything to come.

Drawing on his own adventures, Brad’s work wonders what exactly it is people are looking for when they leave home to travel. Souvenirs serve as evidence of captured experience, while books give us another form of escape. Using slogans from brochures and billboards, including postcards and recreational imagery, Brad explores the ephemera that attempt to help you feel at home even if you are very far away.

Adrienne deals with similar themes of home in her work. She asks if photographs curb loss or homesickness or do they serve as memorials for the moments they have kept? Are photographs able to capture a history that actually does not change, but show the inherent similarities of our lives? Whimsical drawings invent personality for nameless portraits, as hazy colors evoke a feeling of half-remembrance, reminding us that sometimes things most important lie just behind a veil unseen.
