The Malden Public Library is pleased to showcase local artist Stephanie Stigliano during the month of February. Stephanie has experience with many mediums but currently enjoys making prints and artist books. Her prints will be in the main hallway and her artist books will be in the glass display case inside.
“Making prints gives me the chance to make different versions of one idea: I can play with the color combinations or change the process. It is fun to experiment with both of those aspects. Lately I make monoprints and combine them with relief prints, brush painting, and collage (Chine-collè). Making artist’s books gives me alternative ways of presenting the prints as an unfolding story. The structure reflects the content of the piece. I was originally trained as a jeweler and I use similar skills when I create books and prints. My inspiration comes from time spent in nature and everyday observations. Teaching students how to make books and prints is also an energizing activity—it is a delight to help people discover their inner artist.”
A reception will be held on Monday February 3rd from 6-7pm, everyone is welcome to attend and light refreshments will be served.
