Using the medieval book of hours as a point of departure, <i>Hours</i> explores ideas of memory and time,
ritual and alchemy. I devised a chemical process for the project, working directly on twenty-four offset printing plates that were used to print the pages of the
book. On press, the treated plates accepted ink in surprising ways,
creating analog images that "developed" through the process of printing.
The images, printed in twenty-four shades of dark blue ink, are reminiscent of
water and waves, rivulets and eddies, primordial creation and geological
erosion. Each plate was used to print a press sheet, which was then
folded down to create a sixteen-page signature in the finished book. Motifs
repeat rhythmically across the spreads, and fingerprints and fold marks
echo the ritualistic repetitions of the book's creation. The book is
scaled for intimate interaction, with a multitude of bookmark ribbons
that add to the composition in ways that change with every viewing.<br />

Images of a book-in-progress, to be released this fall at the <a href="http://nyartbookfair.com/" target="_blank">NY Art Book Fair,</a> published by <a href="http://containercorps.com/" target="_blank">Container Corps</a>. The book, <i>Hours</i>, comprises twenty-four signatures (shown collated in the image above), offset printed in a spectrum of hand-mixed blues. Images were prepared using a direct application of a toner-based fluid onto offset printing plates (one shown in second image above, after printing). <br />

Images of <i>Heather Watkins – Recurrent Work</i>, recently published in conjunction with my one-person exhibition at The Art Gym at Marylhurst University. The book features two exquisite texts – a spatialized poem, and an essay – by Stephanie Snyder, Director and Curator of the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland, Oregon. The book's design, beautifully executed by Adam McIsaac <a href="http://sibleyhouse.com/work/project/heather-watkins-recurrent-work" target="_blank">/ Sibley House</a>, includes over one hundred work examples, with emphasis on ink- and fiber-based works created over the past five years.<br />
<br />
The book is available for purchase ($20) through The Art Gym, by emailing <a href="mailto:bshell@marylhurst.edu">bshell@marylhurst.edu</a>. A lo-res downloadable pdf of the book is available <a href="http://digital.collection.marylhurst.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15184coll2/id/410/rec/1#img_view_container" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />

details of new drawings from the <i>Surfacing</i> series that will be on view this summer at the Portland Art Museum (July 20-October 20, 2013). The Portland Art Museum's APEX series presents the work of four contemporary northwest artists each year. My work for this exhibition is generously supported in part by grants from the Oregon Arts Commission and The Ford Family Foundation.

Six lithographs made in collaboration with master printer Mark Mahaffey of Mahaffey Fine Art in Portland, Oregon. Three images are printed in two color sets: white ink on black glassine, and black ink on Kozo-shi. This project was funded in part by an artist's project grant from the Regional Arts & Culture Council. The prints were presented in the exhibition <i>Gradual Instant</i> at the Edith Feldenheimer Gallery at Reed College, August 20-September 15, 2012. (Installation images of that exhibition below.)

From April-July, 2012, I worked with Mark Mahaffey of Mahaffey Fine Art to produce two new lithographic print series, which were exhibited in August at PDX Contemporary Art and the Edith Feldenheimer Gallery at Reed College, respectively. This work was generously supported by an artist's project grant from the Regional Arts & Culture Council. A few images of the process shown above. <br />

I have been commissioned to design a new book series. The imprint, <b>Companion Editions</b>, published by the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery at Reed College, will present pocketbook readers on subjects including poetry, art criticism, film studies, letters, calligraphy, and other literary reflections. The first title, <i>Bruce Nauman Going Solo</i>, will be released at a lecture by author Robert Slifkin, on February 17, 2012 at Reed College. Slifkin's lecture will discuss the work of Bruce Nauman, and is timed to coincide with the wonderful exhibition <i>Bruce Nauman: Basements</i>, curated by Stephanie Snyder. </div>
