Edie Overturf & Jim Hittinger

Edie Overturf’, 'Earthly Beasts'

Earthly Beasts suggests a pre-or-post event quandary. The spaces depicted are rich in texture and residue of a human impact on space. The scope of the impact is narrowly defined. The open-ended narrative quality employed allows the viewer to insert themselves, to question their relationship with that environment and scenario. Earthly Beasts features woodcut, screen print, archival digital print and monoprinting methods.

Jim Hittinger, 'Minus Something'

Minus Something is a series of new drawings and paintings about stand-ins and conduits for what isn’t there. The imagery in this series references holidays, ceremonies, horror movies, and other phenomena that mark a belief, or suspension of disbelief, in a higher power or the supernatural. This imagery exists alongside that of the everyday mundane, where no suspension of disbelief is required, but unseen forces are still lurking just out of sight.
