Saints Mark, Rocco and Sebastian have been imagined and portrayed in art for centuries. Venice in particular has some of the most compelling representations of their images. This exhibit of installations considers various pictorial elements which could be used to experience many looks into the process of making pictures about saints. All works are on paper with etching, collage chine-collé watercolor, monoprint, all in variation, seeking ways to see the saints.
