Come join Artisan Alley in our Dimensions Gallery for a solo show from visiting artist Suzanne Dittenber. Her paintings of PAGES inquire into the proliferation of information alongside our continued valuation of the printed page. Through this body of work, she sorts out a certain dubiousness regarding dissemination of imagery and also expresses sympathy toward physicality and materiality, a determined valuing of the concrete and tactile.
This event will be open for a public reception with light refreshments on 9/17/16 from 6-9 and will be open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 6-9, OR you can call in to schedule an appointment by calling 812-370-0278.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I begin my painting process observing tangible objects – printed pages containing images. In the sleek, pristine form of a newly released magazine, images are pre-eminent. But as pages are turned and manipulated, they take on the added complexity of marks, creases, wrinkles, folds, waves. Consequently, imagery
becomes servile, accommodating these alterations to the physical form of the page. Two dimensional illusions become relief sculptures. This transformation is the focus of my current work.
