Cyndy Sperry - Sketchbook Translations

Cyndy Sperry - Collage 

In this exhibit, artist Cyndy Sperry translates small moments from different sketchbooks into large, tapestry-scale collages.  The pieces incorporate woodblock prints, silkscreen imagery, charcoal figure drawings, painted papers and leftover student work from the summer program at  Sugarhill Art.  The New England boreal forest, rocky Maine Coast, paintings by Edward Hicks, the lions of the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way from Babylon, and Piero Della Francisca’s Adoration weave into the work…as well as many walks in the woods and river swims alone and in good company.
