'Wondering' at Dahmen
"Wondering," a new exhibit at Dahmen Barn features the work of Lynne Haagensen, a professor emeritus from the University of Idaho. During her time teaching, she specialized in printmaking.
She uses drawing and experimental photocopy as a form of printmaking. Many of her drawings are influenced by her international travels, incorporating them into her printmaking process.
"When I moved to Idaho in 1976 I was fascinated by the landscape. I began exploring, sketchbook in hand. I am still exploring and making drawings all these years later. My interest in experimental photocopy as an art medium began in 1993 during a sabbatical year; it led to a four month artist residency at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in California in 2001. Museo Internacional de Electragrafa in Cuenca, Spain, invited me to be a guest artist in the summer of 2005. I used a vintage color photocopier at M.I.D.E. to develop a book of imagery from drawings I made in the city, a magnificent World Heritage site. Having drawn in Cuenca, I was keen to see more of Spain. In the years since I have returned to Spain six times to draw in different regions of the country. A special interest in Romanesque architecture inspired me to add travel in France to my most recent trips. In 2018, I visited Portugal for the first time. As wide format digital printing has become available, I’ve transitioned from making photocopy artwork, to using photocopy as a middle step in the development of archival digital prints."
Dahmen Barn at Uniontown is open Thursday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

CLUBS & YOUTH GROUPS
Athenaeum
Last week, the Athenaeum Club held an educational meeting featuring the Kenai Fjord National Park, the smallest national park in Alaska. In the south-central part of the state, the land challenges the sea with talon-like peninsulas and rocky headlands while the sea itself reaches inland with long fjords and hundreds of quiet bays and coves.
Kay Van Dyke had researched information on the park and presented the intriguing information.
The meeting was hosted by Nancy Herrygers and held at the United Methodist Church. A lively discussion continued after the meeting.
The next meeting will be held on April 19.
