\u201cWishing for the Moon\u201d is a series of 14 scratchboard drawings by Karen Gaudette that metaphorically reflect a middle-aged woman\u2019s journey to find true love. Bravely taking cues from her own life, Gaudette transforms her personal journey into a visual fairy tale, rich with symbolic characters, such as the mermaid, the heron, and a variety of animal\/human hybrids. According to guest curator Susan Calabria, \u201cScratchboard is a reductive drawing technique in which sharp tools are used to scrape through an upper surface, usually black, creating a design in a lower surface, often white.\u201d Making strokes with V-shaped metal nibs, Gaudette creates white dots, lines, crosshatching, and clean areas that convey textures, subtle tonal values, motion, and light.<\/p>\n

Gaudette\u2019s exhibition, along with four other exhibitions–“Contemporary Artists vs. The Masters: Homage, Battle, Reclamation,” “Visions from the Edge: An Exploration of Outsider Art,” Jonathan Gitelson’s “Are You Here?,” and “flow-MOTION: Michael Sacca”–close on June 13, 2016.
