Kambua Chema: Postcards from Morocco

@ Perspective Gallery

1310-1/2B Chicago Ave, Evanston, IL 60201

Opening Saturday, June 4th, from 5PM - 7PM

On view through Sunday, June 26th

This June, Perspective Gallery is pleased to present recent work by one of its newest members, Kambua Chema; and, by one of its founding members, Suzanne Metzel.

Kambua Chemaโ€™s collection of images, Postcards of Morocco, are a snapshot of moments throughout Morocco printed onย Hahnemรผhle paper. Each image presents a unique personal experience that provides a sense of place and keepsake in the form of a picture postcard from a place that has come to feel like home to her.

Suzanne Metzelโ€™s series, Still Life, is a collection of photopolymer gravure prints of natural subjects. With the help of UV light, these images have been transferred to steel-backed plates which are then inked and printed by hand with an etching press. The technique is the perfect vehicle to reveal natureโ€™s inherent beauty.

The exhibit opens on Thursday, June 2 with a public reception on Saturday, June 4 from 5-7 p.m.ย  Chema and Metzel will give an artist talk on June 16. The show closes June 26.
