Skylight Book Launch

A handmade Limited edition letterpress book launch

ARTSPACE at Untitled is pleased to host a book launch to present Skylight, a handmade limited edition book of poems by local poet Jane Vincent Taylor.

Skylight is a twenty-four poem narrative told in the voice of a woman — a teacher and poet — spending her final days in an assisted living facility. Though physically failing, the narrator continues to read, observe, communicate, and dream.

Denise Brady edited and designed the book. She hand set and printed the letterpress edition and also completed the non-adhesive sewing into handmade paper covers. Nolan Bennett assisted with this edition through a University of Nebraska at Omaha Fine Arts Press/Gibraltar Editions Fellowship.

Hanna Demma created a unique drawing on her handmade over-beaten abaca paper for each copy, which has been tipped into the title page spread.

Published by Gibraltar Editions in Omaha, Nebraska, Skylight is limited to 55 copies, each signed by the poet, visual artist, and book artist.

The book launch is scheduled for Thursday, October 10, 2024, 5-7 p.m. at ARTSPACE at Untitled, NE 3rd Street in Oklahoma City and will feature a short reading by the poet and comments by the book artist.

Copies will be available for sale. $65.00 each.

Quilt + Paint 

Qu’aint is an ongoing conversation between painting and quilting, past and present. Sarah Atlee, Brenda Esslinger, Elizabeth Richards, Ann Solinski, Agnes Stadler, and Jason Wilson have been collaborating since 2018 to investigate the different ways we make meaning from material.

The Uncovering | Qu’aint Exhibition features contemporary art quilts and paintings that are inspired by the two art forms’ commonalities.

There is a common misconception that quilting is a dying art. The collaborative art group Qu’aint is here to show audiences that quilting is alive and thriving, inspiring contemporary artists to reach new ground.

With Uncovering, the Qu’aint artists hope to illuminate the ways that genres overlap and provoke conversation about what unites us.

Mark your calendars now for the opening reception of Uncovering at ARTSPACE at Untitled on May 23rd, 5-8 PM.

Participants will learn how to create a monotype print on paper with one of the fine untitled etching presses in the studio. The possibilities are endless and participants will have time to create several monotypes.

Monotypes are prints that are unique, sometimes painterly, and capable of many approaches. Ink is applied to a flat plate with a brush or brayer and can be manipulated with erasure, templates, layering, pressed textures, or collage. Finally, the plate is printed on paper with one of the workshop’s fine untitled etching presses.

Participants should bring ideas for their images, an apron, and a roll of paper towels.

This workshop is limited to 10 participants.

Please join Rick Sinnett, aka “Mothman,” as he creates an original work of art featuring the Monarch butterfly and the Oklahoma State wildflower, Gaillardia Pulchella (commonly known as Indian Paintbrush or Firewheel).

Learn the process of burning a screen in our darkroom on the Nu-Arc exposure unit, and then see how to produce a vibrant two-color serigraph. Time: 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Each participant will leave with an original Rick Sinnett print.

Come early at 9:00 AM for coffee and pastries.

Class size limited to 20.
