Sunday Telegram review of Portland Library art exhibit notes strength of work by Stephen Burt

The on April 10, 2011 positively reviewed a new exhibition of collaborative prints created jointly by the artists of Portland鈥檚 Peregrine Press and the artists of Women Networking in Zanzibar, Tanzania on display at the Portland Public Library.

Work by Stephen Burt, associate professor and chair, 色香视频 Department of Creative and Fine Arts, is represented in the show, and reviewer Daniel Kany writes:

"A particularly strong work is an etching of a fantastical flowered vine by Steve Burt that was completed by Jamilia Mzee. By itself, Burt's flora is eye-poppingly detailed, but Mzee's divided decorative background weaves it back into the image using floral motifs and a brilliant formal gesture in which the lower quadrant reads as the inverse of the rest. It comprises red drawing on a yellow ground, whereas the upper portion is yellow and red drawing on an orange ground."

The show is on view through May 28th.
