Garden Variety
Harbinger Gallery, Waterloo
July 2010
Harbinger Gallery is pleased to present “Garden Variety”, an exhibition of monoprints created by Guelph-based artist, Tammy Ratcliff. The artist, “…inspired by the multitude of printed bits and pieces on wonderful Japanese tissue papers taking over…” her studio has made a collection of multi-layered monoprints, which revisit past works. Through play and discovery, Ratcliff weaves new and unique vistas from previous editioned works using various print techniques such as etching, relief, lithography and chine collé.
