Laura Post Exhibits at the Fort Worth Community Art Center
Adjunct Assistant Professor Laura Post has a solo exhibition at the Fort Worth Community Art Center from September 10 – October 30, 2021. “Breaking Through: Portraits, Prints, Paper: Works by Laura Post” includes paper sculpture prints, along with her experiments using invasive plants to create cast woodblock portrait prints. The opening took place September 11 as part of the Fort Worth Art Dealers Association Fall Gallery Walk.
Post earned her MFA from Rhode Island School of Design in printmaking. Before joining the faculty at University of Texas Arlington, she was a lecturer at Indiana University, Bloomington. Post's paper sculptures, prints, and other paper works have been featured in numerous exhibitions, including three solo exhibitions in 2019-20. Her work has also been featured in numerous national and international group exhibitions including Shanghai International Paper Art Biennale, Shanghai, China and Umbra: New Prints for a Dark Age selected by Alison Saar at International Print Center New York.
According to Professor Post’s artist statement, “I create multi-faceted paper sculptures to explore how individuals are shaped by their familial network. This includes non-Western and Western traditional print processes, handmade paper, and post-digital techniques like 3D scans to expand the definition of printmaking and rethink portraiture.”
