‘Growth and decay’

“Kaboom!,” linocut monotype, by Julia Talcott, in her show “Subject to Change,’’ at Bromfield Gallery, Boston, April 2-27.

She says:

“This exhibition presents printmaking from 2012 to the present. My work reflects my interest in the natural world and its intersection with the man-made world. I like to observe patterns, pull them apart, and then re-imagine them as printed pieces. 

“Creating them as linoleum and woodblock prints, I produce a vocabulary of images and then work intuitively to collage them back together into new forms. 

“I alternate between abstraction and representational images, with color and black and white pallets to weave images together. I strive to express the vitality of growth and decay in a physical and spiritual world.’’
