The Woodblock Prints of Sandy Walker
April 26, 2:00–3:00 p.m.
Sandy Walker’s monumental woodblock prints merge the sensibility of a painter with the discipline of printmaking. Unusual for the medium, the prints are strikingly large in scale, inviting viewers to engage with them physically as well as visually. Walker’s artistic vision was shaped by a formative move from Washington, DC, to a Wyoming ranch, where the vast horizon and solitude of the plains instilled a lasting reverence for nature’s scale. His work ultimately evokes the sublime, inviting viewers to experience moments of awe and heightened awareness within the immensity of the natural world.
