Reading Images by Leslie Sutcliffe

We now straddle book culture and cyberspace. Because we have a foot in both worlds, we are granted a glimpse into the way these technologies shape how we derive meaning from what we see. But it is like stepping from a dock onto a boat; we risk losing our balance by staring into the water between our feet. Meaning shifts and may be lost altogether.

The works in this exhibition are oil, graphite and screen printing on wood panels. Obsolete and residual technology is an important element in my work, and residual print technologies were utilized in the fabrication of this work, including thermal screen printing, ditto masters and letterpress type.

Leslie Sutcliffe teaches at Cuesta College and publishes and prints etching editions at El Moro Etching Editions, both in California. She
has exhibited her work in solo shows in California at Firefly Gallery; ARTS Space Obispo; California State University, Dominguez Hills; and the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. The fall 2006 edition of AGNI magazine, published by Boston University, featured her work.

from California State University, Fullerton, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Irvine.
