“Mezzotint: Out of the Dark”

Jayne Reid Jackson’s prints reflect her appreciation, experimentation and mastery of the
traditional and contemporary intaglio mezzotint printmaking process—a method which
has brought her international recognition.

Please join us for a Saturday Matinee Event when Madison-based printmaker Jayne Reid
Jackson and Peltz Gallery artist Cheryl Olson-Sklar present a conversation and
demonstration of mezzotint, as well as other historical and contemporary print plate
processes. An open portfolio and framed prints by Jayne Reid Jackson will be available.

Artist Statement

As someone whose artistic expression is firmly based in drawing, I find that printmaking,
especially intaglio, provides me with the widest range of tools for my needs. I can be
precise and controlled in my etchings and mezzotints, concentrating on the graphic
quality of these techniques. To compliment these, the monotypes are more fluid, allowing
the brushwork and color to define the image.

Through the use of the traditional still life image, I capture what is special about everyday
objects and the intrinsic beauty of the commonplace. I attempt to put forward what is
unique about the objects in relation to their surroundings. Through the use of my drawing
skills, I attempt to enhance what I am seeing and to share that with the viewer, whether it
is by pulling the object out of its background or blurring that relationship and playing with
the pattern of shadows, objects and backgrounds. I like to think that I am creating more
than a reproduction of a thing and imbuing it with some essence that I feel when I am
observing it.
