Janet Marcavage curated the print portfolio, Patterned Remarks, which will be exhibited during the 2010 Southern Graphics Council Conference at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Hamilton Building, 128 N Broad Street, Printmaking Area, Sixth Floor Gallery, from 9am to 5pm on Thursday, Mar. 25th and Friday, Mar. 26th, 2010.

The act of repetition is intrinsic to the processes of printmaking and may be associated with nostalgia, production, and the recurrence of events. Throughout the process, statements evolve, repeat and are reiterated again. The prints in this portfolio utilize printmaking as a matrix to explore visual pattern, including personal remarks on the decorative and mimicry of the systems around us. Participants bridge the act of repetition with its portrayal. The participants are Jennifer Angus, Mark Franchino, Kevin Haas, Karla Hackenmiller, Adriane Herman, Yoshihiro Kitai, Janet Marcavage, Frances Myers, Jessica Spring, and Imin Yeh.
