InventoryCollection Number: 17479Building: Central LibraryCurrent Location: One North Floor: 1st Object DescriptionArtist: Laura BermanArtist Dates: 1973-CurrentArtist Nationality: AmericanObject Type: PrintDetails: This is a unique relief monoprint hand-printed with layers of overlapping ink. Framed: Yes - GlassLength: 17 inchesWidth: 1 1/2 inchesHeight: 39 inchesDescription: In Berman’s mind, knowledge and information flow like an unseen current between people and media in the library environment. This print is one of ten that visualizes that phenomenon in the ebb and flow of color across them. While the series has a cohesive visual effect when displayed together, each individual unit has its own unique characteristics. In the first of the series, shades of orange emerge from the bottom of the piece overlapping shades of pink and one stroke of bold green to suggest an upward movement carried on by the next piece. Within each frame, the layering of color creates new shapes and hues that add to the overall flow of the work. One can imagine the layers of color to be like layers of information in the mind, crossing to create new colors and new ideas.
