The Liminal Print Exhibition at the Atrium Gallery

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to present my solo show, The Liminal Print exhibition, at the Atrium Gallery inside the Novi Civic Center. The exhibition brought together a large body of my monoprints with collage elements, allowing the individual works to exist together in one space where they could begin to speak to one another.
Preparing the show required a great deal of work behind the scenes. Hanging more than 50 two-dimensional pieces in the atrium was no small task. Installing a solo exhibition involves careful planning—considering how each piece relates to the next, how viewers move through the space, and how the work collectively tells a story. Seeing the pieces finally come together on the walls was one of the most rewarding moments of The Liminal Print exhibition.
During the same period, I was also completing the final stages of publishing a book about my monoprints. The book was created to share during the opening reception and throughout the exhibit. As I worked through the final edits and reviewed the images for publication, the process became more than just preparing a book—it also helped shape the exhibition itself.
Looking at the work collectively allowed me to recognize themes that had emerged naturally through the process of making the prints. Patterns of memory, transformation, and layered storytelling began to reveal themselves. The editing process helped me make decisions about which works to include in the show and how they related to one another.
In many ways, the book and the exhibition developed alongside each other. Each helped clarify the larger ideas behind the work and the exploration of liminal space that continues to guide my artistic practice. When the gallery installation was complete and visitors began moving through the space, The Liminal Print exhibition became more than a collection of individual pieces—it became a shared experience where viewers could encounter the work and find their own connections within it.
