13FOREST Gallery is pleased to present Reprise, featuring work by printmakers Alison Judd, Robert Maloney, Damion Silver, Mary Teichman, Dorothea Van Camp and Nina Wishnok.
In 2021, we curated an exhibition titled One of One: Four Approaches to Monoprints to highlight artists using printmaking techniques to create one-of-a-kind images, and to introduce two new artists to the gallery, Alison Judd and Damion Silver. Unfortunately, a week after the exhibition opened, there was a fire in the café next to the gallery that displaced us for eight months until repairs were made and we could reopen in May 2022.
Though the process of reopening the gallery presented many challenges, one of the most difficult was not being able to showcase an exceptional group of artists to the extent they deserved. To that end, we curated Reprise to include the four artists from 2021’s interrupted show, with the addition of two more of our talented printmakers. Reprise includes new work from each of the artists and some prints from One of One that were not widely seen.
A particularly technical and varied medium, printmaking is often misunderstood. Exhibitions focusing solely on printmaking are a wonderful way to educate the public and to celebrate the breadth of possibility inherent in the medium’s processes. Working in woodcut, cyanotype, silkscreen, etching and chine-collé, the artists of Reprise exemplify the ingenuity and visual diversity of printmaking.

About the Artists
Alison Judd is a multi-media artist whose work is rooted in themes relating to nature, memory and mothering. Judd grew up in New York City, surrounded by museums and galleries from a young age. She studied Painting and Art History at Brandeis University and received her Masters of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Judd has exhibited at many Boston area galleries including Carole Calo Gallery at Stonehill College, and MassArtxSoWa. She currently works out of her home studio in Brookline, Mass. where she lives with her husband, three children and her dog.
Robert Maloney's constructions and mixed media prints incorporate elements of the urban landscape, typography, topography and architecture. Many of his pieces straddle the line between a structure being torn down and a structure being erected. Maloney mines the vocabulary of the urban landscape to create imagery that evokes the feeling of crumbling walls, discarded billboards and old warehouse buildings. Maloney received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and is a current faculty member at the college in the Illustration Department.
Damion Silver is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work spans printmaking, assemblage and sculpture. Both his art and design work have been shown and published throughout the United States, Europe and Japan. Silver’s latest work explores the use of form through repetition, subtraction and abstraction. The combination of media and use of space between the works creates a dynamic and unifying dialog across his body of work. Silver currently resides in New Hampshire.
Mary Teichman received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City in 1976. Her work has appeared in more than 260 national and international invitational and juried exhibitions, and has received awards from The Boston Printmakers, The Print Club of Albany, and The Society of American Graphic Artists who honored her at their Biennial Awards Dinner with the 2019 prize for outstanding achievement in printmaking. Teichman’s etchings are in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, The Boston Athenaeum, The New York Public Library, The Museum of the City of New York, The Boston Public Library and the University City Art Museum of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, among others.
Dorothea Van Camp has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design, and attended the University Of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning for graduate studies in printmaking. She has shown extensively in the northeast, and her work is included in numerous collections, including State Street Bank, Federal Reserve Bank, Bank of America, Wellesley College and Mellon Bank.
Nina Wishnok is an artist and designer whose studio is in Medford, Mass. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from New York University and a Graphic Design Certificate from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Wishnok has studied art and design at the DeCordova Museum School, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Rhode Island School of Design, and Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy.
