Hester Stinnett

Addenda is on view through May 24 at Da Vinci Art Alliance in Philadelphia. The exhibition is co-curated by artists Hester Stinnett and Katie Garth, and also features work from Jason Patterson, Henry Rosenberg, Todd Stong, Rochelle Toner, and Eva Wylie. The premise of the show is held in the title, which implies taking responsive actions: making a declaration, adjusting legibility, or taking purposeful actions that provide crucial new information. The exhibition brings together artists who, through clarifying or questioning responses—sometimes revealing, sometimes obscuring—add important “Addenda” to our view of the world. @jason_patterson @hen_pen_ @toddstong @rochelletoner @evawylie

Shifting Impressions, a group exhibition @boxspringgallery , includes two of my Riso prints! Be sure to stop by @cranearts for the Second Thursday reception on April 9th, 6-9pm. Golden, Do It Yourself Riso monoprint with silkscreen and erasure. 28 x 19 inches @americancolorprintsocietytoday #riso #contemporaryprintmaking

Hester and I are looking forward to presenting an outstanding lineup of artists at @davinciartalliance this May. “Addenda”—that which is added—implies taking responsive action, making a declaration, or adjusting legibility. Our work is joined by contributions from Jason Patterson, Henry David Rosenberg, Todd Stong, Rockie Toner, and Eva Wylie. Collectively, this show of print-related work examines ways of revealing (or obscuring), and making something understandable (or not)—while the essence of an earlier version remains. We hope you will join us for the opening on May 2. @evawylie @hen_pen_ @jason_patterson @rochelletoner @toddstong

Image 1: Close up of erasure on Riso print, “White Thread, Lightning”, 2025, riso print with erasure, edition number: 1/2, 30.25 x 20.5 in Image 2: Installation in window @fjord , “White Thread, Lightning”, 2025, riso print with erasure, edition number: 1/2, 30.25 x 20.5 in Pulling from her mother’s journals, bookkeeping, detritus, and scrawled notes-to-self, Hester Stinnett tracks the states of perception that her mother traveled as she progressed through stages of dementia, making physical and visual sense of that journey through scanned images rearranged, partially erased, and drawn into. Working with the printed multiple allows the artist to constantly return to a state of the past, wondering at the gaps of meaning that at one point existed between two people as close as mother and daughter. What she saw to be a black mat, her mother may have experienced as a chasm. A white thread on black fabric becomes a lightning bolt. A printed image, a window. Pulling at the loose ends of these fundamental questions of representation and reality, Stinnett all the while anchors the viewer in these universals: love, loss, and endless curiosity. This Saturday, is the last day to see the “hollow thread, solid ground” group exhibition @fjord , 1:00-5:00. Stop by!
