"Transcriptions"March 13-April 5, 2008
In March, Kelly & Weber Fine Art will
be exhibiting the latest work by artist Hester Stinnett.
Using innovative techniques, Stinnett's recent prints
focus on revisions in handwritten texts as unique moments
revealing the mind at work. In the series Transcriptions,
her two sources are the crumpled and scribbled notes
of a woman of failing faculties trying to keep track
of a fading world, placed with author Joseph Conrad's
autograph manuscript* in which he famously sets down
a vision of his artistic purpose at a turning point of
his career.
While the results are "both visually
dense and technically complex," as John Caperton,
Curator of Prints and Photographs at The Print Center,
notes in his exhibition essay, "her hand in the
making of the work at first seems to be quite light," more
like direct transcriptions than worked art. You may read
other essays about Stinnett's work and see other examples

Deadline Extended: December 15, 2007
