Reception: Thursday January 16 | 5-7pm
Schneider Hall Galleries | Belknap Gallery

The Hite Institute of Art + Design is pleased to announce Rachel Singel: From Plants to Paper. Featuring detailed renderings of bats, catfish, bird nests and more, Rachel Singel strives to recreate the intricacies and depth of natural forms in her work. Printing on hand-made paper made from recycled materials and plant fibers to promote sustainability, Singel’s complex and delicate etchings reflect the state of our natural world. “Beyond bringing attention to the immense complexity of the natural world, one of my primary goals as an artist is to raise environmental consciousness.” Singel notes in her artist statement. Along with her own etchings Single has selected prints from the University’s Art Collection that have inspired her practice including works by artists Frank Perrone, Barry Moser, and James Whistler.

From Plants to Paper will open in the Schneider Hall Galleries on January 9 and a reception will be held Thursday January 16 from 5-7pm We hope you will join us!
