More on this unique exhibit and the artist:
Leaf and Circle is the culmination of an ambitious project begun in the fall of 2007, during which artist Jessica Baker collected leaves from Prospect Park and locations throughout Brooklyn. Her initial idea to print directly on the leaves is a natural outgrowth from her work for many years as a printmaker, and in particular from her interest in the powerful archetype of the circle. The combination of leaves and circles has resulted in this unique series of single and multiple leaf print arrangements, as well as leaf arrangements with no prints on them at all.
Jessica Baker lives and works in Brooklyn, where she pulls all of her own prints on a table-top etching press in her artist studio. Her prints have been presented in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally. For more information, visit www.jessicabaker.net.
Exhibit is on the second floor of the Audubon Center.
