Current Exhibition
Tera Incognita
Western Wyoming Community College’s (Western) Art Gallery is excited to exhibit the works of Utah Printmaker, Holland Larsen. The show will run from September 6 to October 18. Visitors are able to visit the exhibition daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM except for holiday closures.
Terra Incognita will feature artworks which focus on Larsen’s exploration of the hidden, undiscovered, realms that still shape human relationships with the natural world. Speaking to the inspiration for producing this unique body of work, Larsen explains: “I am drawn to the concept of ‘terra incognita’—the unknown lands that persist even in our contemporary natural world. Despite advances in technology and exploration, there are still spaces, both literal and metaphorical, that resist full comprehension.” To highlight the existence of such spaces, Larsen uses a layered printing and drawing approach to convey that sense of observing “the unseen.”
Larsen received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Printmaking at Utah State University (USU) and received a Master of fine arts degree in Printmaking from Chico State University. She now lives and works in Logan, Utah where she teaches Printmaking, Drawing, and foundations Art classes, and manages the Printmaking studios at USU.
Western’s Gallery aims to promote arts-centered learning for college students and community members alike. The Art Gallery at Western hopes that Terra Incognita will inspire patrons to reflect on liminal and overlooked spaces in the natural world.
Many of the displayed works are available for purchase, and the proceeds will benefit the Art Gallery as well as the Artist. All are welcome to consider purchasing an original artwork from the gallery today!
