Lamson Library and Learning Commons welcomes the work of Vermont printmaker, Penelope Bennett to the library. Ms. Bennett documents the consequences of war as displayed in the daily news in the tradition of Goya, Daumier, and Posada. The artist’s etchings on industrial themes, express isolation, and images of naked flesh against steel pipes carry an implicit message of the toxicity of today’s industrialized world.
On Wednesday, March 26th, Ms. Bennett visited the PSU campus as a guest of the Art Department. She discussed her work and shared some of her process/materials with students and faculty.
Ms. Bennett’s work will be displayed on the Main Level of the Library through May 16, 2008.
