DescriptionFrom the portfolio forward:
"Daw's artwork is concerned with nature and the built environment, its mapping and representation. This artist expresses her concerns through performance, installation, painting, artist books and documentation of ephemeral environmental pieces such as her Midwestern sky writing projects. The artist, who lived for many years in the Midwest, is now rooted in the New England landscape and her work as a professor at Massachusetts College of Art.
'Scanned' is Daw's document of a traveler - a seeker. Its methods and materials include Van Dyke brown printing, lithography, collage, acrylic medium, bronzing powder and color pencil."
