NEWBURYPORT — The Anna Jaques Hospital Aid Association is showcasing the works of artist Susan Jaworski-Stranc during May at the hospital’s Art Wall Exhibit.
This exhibition features Jaworski-Stranc’s expertise in reduction linoleum printing, a complex and captivating printmaking technique that requires meticulous planning and precision.
Reduction linoleum printing, often referred to as “suicide printing,” is a unique process in which a single linoleum block is progressively carved away to create multiple layers of color.
With each stage of carving and printing, the artist permanently alters the block, making it impossible to return to previous layers – a testament to the technique’s commitment and finality.
The Newburyport resident maintains a studio on Middle Street and has developed a distinctive style that blends bold color, intricate detail and storytelling elements, according to organizers.
The exhibit will be on display through May 31. More of her work can be found at www.sjaworskistranc-printmaker.com.
The art wall is in the main corridor just outside of the gift shop and is open to the public during regular hospital visiting hours.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each piece of artwork benefits the Anna Jaques Hospital Aid Association.
These support the association’s mission to enhance patient care provided by Anna Jaques Hospital and to improve the health and well-being of the community. Visit www.ajhaidassociation.org for more information.
