Pilgrim Monument by Amy Heller​

Provincetown Banner

Heller is an award-winning photographer. Her work has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally. For this exhibition she will present new cyanotype photographs on fabric, a non-traditional surface for printing. She has always been drawn to the unpredictability of photography, especially the “happy accidents” that occur and the way the camera can see the unseen. Her love of art and interest in photography is captured in the subject matter that she shoots and the printing methods she employs.

Heyman has spent several years making images about the war in Iraq, specifically the abuse and torture of Iraqis at Abu Ghraib and other prisons. He has traveled to Jordan and Turkey, where he had the opportunity to talk face to face with over 50 former detainees, painting their portraits and taking down their own versions of what happened to them at the hands of the American captors.

For this work, Heyman has been awarded both a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Pew Fellowship in the Arts. He currently teaches at Princeton and RISD. For this exhibition he will present a new set of large prints and two new accordion books.

Lyman has lived year-round in Provincetown since 1981 when she was awarded a visual arts fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center.

Making mixed media abstractions on canvas and paper using acrylic paint, glued papers and found materials, Rubens cuts curving strands of paper freehand then pastes them down on the canvas, building compositions of paint, paper, gauze and other elements that exhibit a heightened pleasure in color and texture. There is a sensation of motion in the work; of some unseen force that gives vitality to the compositions and coherence to the individual elements.

Rumford lives and works in Philadelphia and exhibits extensively throughout the U.S. He is a printmaker and painter and works with a variety of techniques. He will exhibit a new series of monoprints with chine cole.
