"Circularity" exhibition featuring relief prints by Scott Ponemone opens in our main gallery this Saturday, September 5th and runs until Saturday, October 31st. Scott and his co-author, Karen Klein, will be joining us on September 5th for an artist talk at 2pm.
This exhibition of relief printmaking is centered around the 2025 book Circularity, which was a collaboration between Baltimore artist Scott Ponemone and Cambridge, MA, poet Karen Klein. The book paired 15 of her elegant haiku with 15 of his circular hand-colored linocuts through a cycle from winter solstice to winter solstice.
Since Circularity's publication Ponemone has created 7 additional linocuts. Each of his linocuts celebrated a distinctive decorative arts tradition including ancient Greek ceramics, Oceanic bark cloth, early 19th-century cut glass and Puritan-era tombstones.
The exhibition also includes wood engravings that Ponemone made prior to the linocuts. In each of these prints he explored human hands and how we use them in everyday tasks. The gestures were depicted in a most restrained manner, with just the barest of lines.
