New faculty member has printmaking exhibition 4:25 p.m., Oct. 10, 2005--An exhibition of printmaking by April Flanders, assistant professor of printmaking in the Department of Fine Arts and Visual Communications, is on view through Friday, Nov. 4, in 102 Recitation Hall. An opening reception, which is free and open to the public, will be held from 5-7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 13. Her work differs from traditional printmaking in that it involves sculpture as well as printmaking as an element of installation. In an artist’s statement, Flanders writes, “My creative research reflects my commitment to social change. My newest work addresses consumerism and its impact on the environment.” Flanders said she uses metaphors for her message, and in this installation she created “tapeworms” from receipts, explaining, “Increasingly, we are creating a parasitic relationship with our planet.” Flanders received bachelor’s degrees in Spanish and fine arts from Florida State University and her master’s degree from Arizona State University. She has taught at the University of Guelph in Canada, the University of Florida and the University of Georgia’s Cortona, Italy, program. Her work has appeared in several solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and is in the collections of the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, the Tucson Museum and other institutions.
