Item Description

The 30/30 Anniversary Print Project was an exhibition and silent auction supporting the youth education scholarship programs of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts and Burlington City Arts, in honor of the Flynn Center and BCA's 30th anniversaries. Participating artists, lead by artist/project coordinators Gregg Blasdel, Jennifer Koch and Sumru Tekin, created prints in BCA's Print Studio at 250 Main Street, as well as the studio of Jennifer Koch.

"It had been 3 or 4 years since I had worked in the BCA print shop and I was pleasantly surprised by the changes. My degree is in both painting and lithography and so have had some experience in different print shops. It was a delightful experience working with Sumru (friend and colleague) who kept us steady at the helm. Her professionalism, warm and calm demeanor was perfect for her role as guide. We worked with one other printer (also involved in this project) the four sessions I was in the shop. A few of those times happened to be with friends I had known for many years. This led to a great working rhythm, delightful atmosphere and supportive chatter while we worked. My image was based on a previous painting I had done, entitled Poet's Heart. Using multiples plates (some plexi, some cardboard) and registration I explored a recurring theme in my work. I ended up with five prints- all different due to the mono print aspects of some of the plates that were used. I'm happy to report I'm pleased with the results, had great fun in the process and feel very grateful to have been a part of this project."
