Modern Petroglyphs

A new sculpture installation being created by 2015 Summer Artist-In-Residence, Kevin Sudeith

ABOUT MODERN PETROGLYPHS

This summer, our Artist-In-Residence, Kevin Sudeith, is carving three large boulders that have been placed in the garden.  Each boulder was carefully selected by the artist, and quarried from the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.  The boulders each mark the start of a new trail.  Kevin chose carving themes for each boulder based on Southern Maryland culture and traditions - sport fishing, commercial fishery, and the Patuxent Naval Air Station.  Crabs, boats, astronauts, and more are slowly emerging over the course of the summer.  Guests are invited to drop-in any day to learn more about his creative process, and observe Kevin as he creates his modern petroglyphs, or rock carvings.

 

ABOUT THE PRINT MAKING PROCESS

As part of his creative process, Kevin makes prints of each carving, called an impression.  Wet paper, or in some cases paper pulp, is pressed over a freshly painted petroglyph, creating a colorful, embossed, negative - a sculpture in paper.

The prints are an important documentation of the carvings and will serve as a tool to convey the carvings to remote audiences. "The prints are an integral part of the conceptual form of my work," explains Sudeith. "The spatial relationship between the stone and a sheet of paper is part of the form of the piece. Though the prints are made from archival materials, compared to the rock, they are ephemeral. Similarly my own physical presence is ephemeral compared to the life of the carved rock."

Once the printmaking has been competed, Kevin will paint and varnish the petroglyphs on the rocks. The colors are lighfast and archival as possible, but compared to the rock, they are ephemeral, lasting only a short time.

The three boulders will remain in the garden permanently as trailhead markers.

Kevin Sudeith is a Minnesota-raised and New York-based artist with a master's degree in painting and a longtime fascination with rock art.  Since 2007, he has carved his way across North America, living out of his van, depicting in stone the lives and stories of the people and places he visit.

Summer Public Art Project - Picto-Pebbles

              - paint a rock with an image representing your home town!

 

2015 Summer Public Art Project inspired by the work of Artist-In-Residence, Kevin Sudeith

 

June 1 - August 30, 2015; 10am-4pm daily
Included with the price of admission

    

Do you know the difference between a hieroglyph, a petroglyph, a pictograph, and logogram?  Visit our Summer Public Art Project table, just off the Hungerford Patio, and learn the difference.  Once you have mastered the differences, paint your own Picto-Pebble with an image that represents your hometown.  Come back later this summer, or during Artsfest, to find your rock in the park!

As you walk the trail, keep an eye out for our summer Artist-In-Residence Kevin Sudeith,  He is carving petroglyphs onto three large boulders located along our trail.  When you find him, take a look at the images he has carved.  Why do you think he chose them?

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
This exhibit explores the mysteries of the universe, both scientific and fantastical, theoretical and fictional, real and imagined.  How do artists render the work of scientists, authors, explorers, astronomers, cartoonists, Trekkies, LARPers, astrologers, and philosophers?  This exhibit embraces not only what science has revealed about space, but what humans have imagined about the cosmos.  From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity.  From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists have created works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine.  Assembled here is a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos.

Juror's Statement 
Cosmos: Imaging the Universe consists of more than 50 works inspired by views of space, the universe, planets, and other worlds beyond. The exhibition explores the rich connections between science and the arts. Artists have long been inspired by views from space, and artistry is always present in visualizations used by scientists. The artworks in this exhibition include many that evoke the formation of planets and evolution of stars. Spherical worlds often appear in these works, reminiscent of views of planets, stars, and other celestial objects. Many other works are inspired by images acquired by telescopes or spacecraft. Astronauts float in space, moons of Jupiter and Saturn pass by in orbit, and enormous nebulae and great swirling clouds of gas and dust encompass expanses of space. Some of the most visually striking artworks are even more contemplative, consisting of color and patterns that can remind us of the vast scale of the universe. Several sculptural works bring to mind more cosmological structures, otherworldly rock samples, and space probes. Viewing the works in this exhibition is a reminder of how we view the universe and our place in the cosmos.
