Ghosts, Echoes and Other Wonders at Hampden Gallery

Exerpt from the press release:
Anita Hunt presents a synthesis of old and new pieces—prints, drawings, books, collages, assemblages and paper sculptures—that remix her extensive printmaking archive into new two- and three- dimensional compositions.
Central to Hunt’s practice is a dedicated engagement with the natural environment surrounding her home in rural New England, a beautiful edge habitat where forests, wetlands and old farm fields converge. Through a daily practice of walking, close observation, photography, field and audio notes, she has attuned herself to this transient ecosystem for nearly forty years. Ghosts, Echoes and Other Wonders reflects this sustained engagement, invoking themes of impermanence, mortality, memory, fragility, and the ordinary magic of light and shadow.

(re)imaginings at Salmon Falls Gallery
Anita Hunt
(re)imaginings
a solo show of new hand-printed paper collages
November 2 – December 31, 2024
Opening Reception Saturday, November 9 from 2-4pm
Showing concurrently with Ice Studies, photographs by Lisa Beskin
Salmon Falls Gallery
1 Ashfield Street
Shelburne Falls, MA
413 625-9833
open daily 11-5
Excerpt from the press release:
Artist Anita Hunt is perhaps best known for her intricate etchings and mysterious, black and white monotypes. Her recent forays into collage represent a new direction, one in which she samples and remixes her images to create new compositions. As a prolific printmaker of 40 years she has, in addition to printing hundreds of editions, squirreled away a large treasure trove of trial proofs, alternate versions and color experiments printed in a variety of mediums—etchings, aquatints, mezzotints, monotypes, linoleum cuts, woodcuts, lithographs, nature prints and rubbings taken from trees, plants, rocks, and local, historic gravestones. She mines this rich archive of raw materials for collage. Each collage is assembled from a careful arrangement of prints combined with hand-marbled paper and hand-drawn elements into a unique composition. The collages illuminate her exploration of subjects, forms and ideas as her vision has evolved across decades. They embody many eras of her lifelong printmaking journey.
