WOVEN TIME
AN ONLINE EXHIBITION OF PRINTS BY MEREDITH DEAN
WOVEN TIME features new and past works by printmaker and mixed media artist, Meredith Dean. Dean generally works in series of variable editions, meaning each print she pulls in a series is unique. She draws upon her affinity for flight and Earth’s topography, as well as her observations of the cosmos.
Through the years, Dean’s work has consistently explored these fleeting, continuously shifting human experiences of time, heavenly bodies and weather patterns. Using interchangeable sets of carved plates and transparent inks, she translates irreplicable moments of time into multi-layered printed images.
MEREDITH DEAN is a printmaker, painter, mixed media artist, and was a Senior Lecturer in the Art Department at UTSA for over 20 years. She is known for creating bold, colorful abstract works, and has exhibited across the United States and Internationally. She has served on several important local San Antonio and regional arts boards, and along with her late husband, founded the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy.

ARTIST STATEMENT "I am essentially a printmaker and "printmaking" is historically about telling a visual story and repeating it "verbatim" many times. Consistency is the preferred outcome and any anomalies produced in the process of working are destroyed in favor of presenting a consistent product. This is an approach that I have long resisted. When I create my work, there are methods that I have utilized repeatedly that allow variation in my series of related prints. I often use printing plates made with interchangeable parts that are rearranged as I print to produce different visual results. I also use variations of color in each stage to express moods and perception of time. This way of working allows me to make spontaneous decisions as I create each print to expand the reading of the images beyond only one frozen moment in time." "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus — Meredith Dean, 2023 |
