Goldmark Cultural Center Brown Bag Lunch & Learn Series - March 2019

Date & Time: Tuesday, March 12th from noon to 1:00 PM
Bring your lunch and join us for our March Lunch & Learn!

Speaker: Terri Thoman

About Terri:
My Story
When asked if I enjoy any hobbies, my reply is...

I love what I do, so it is what I do all the time, I am a Printmaker.

In an era of mass produced imagery, I find great joy practicing the Old World techniques of Hand Printing. Something occurs during the physical act of creating a matrix with my hands, listening to the ink, feeling the paper between my fingers as I pull each print ; I become immersed in the process.  Each technical challenge fuels the awe as I behold the final state of the print.  I am witness to the magic that occurs when the abstract marks come together and an image becomes clear. 

   This is the joy that is "Printmaking".

With a BFA in Printmaking from Swain School of Design, experience as an assistant printer at Peregrine Press, and countless exhibits regionally, nationally, and internationally;  I share my expertise through teaching and advising on many educational levels, I have worked with adults, children and professional artists to achieve a creative goal. 

Terri has created workshops and lectures for local colleges and high schools. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, most recently at the Texas Women’s Museum. She owns Paper Arts, a local store featuring the largest selection in the country of fine arts papers from around the world.

Participants will be photographed at 13999 Goldmark Drive, In Unit #100 wearing a hoodie in memory of Trayvon Martin  and other victims of racial violence. 

The Hoodie Project is a memorial photo series instigated by the tragic murder of Trayvon Martin. It features artworks motivated by the iconic image of the “hoodie,” which Trayvon wore the night he was murdered, and its implications for race, representation and prejudice. The reference to the hoodie also highlights the popular dialogues that arouse surrounding the “hoodie” in popular culture, including the ways in which the garment has marked certain bodies as dangerous.

The Hoodie Project widens the discussion by giving voice to other innocent young men who were shot either by mistake like Brandon Robinson (unarmed college football player shot by police) or killed by prejudice like Vincent Chin (beaten to death in a Detroit suburb by two white auto workers.)

Please join us for a Closing Reception in the Milde Gallery at the Goldmark Cultural Center on
