Exhibition Dates: October 6-28, 2018

About Edie Overturf’s Earthly Beasts: Earthly Beasts suggests a pre-or-post event quandary. The spaces depicted are rich in texture and residue of a human impact on space. The scope of the impact is narrowly defined. The open-ended narrative quality employed allows the viewer to insert themselves, to question their relationship with that environment and scenario. Earthly Beasts features woodcut, screen print, archival digital print and monoprinting methods.
Overturf received her BFA from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and her MFA from California State University in Chico. Overturf lived in Minneapolis from 2010-2018. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon where she is a professor of printmaking and drawing at Mount Hood Community College.

About Jim Hittinger’s Minus Something: Minus Something is a series of new drawings and paintings about stand-ins and conduits for what isn’t there. The imagery in this series references holidays, ceremonies, horror movies, and other phenomena that mark a belief, or suspension of disbelief, in a higher power or the supernatural. This imagery exists alongside that of the everyday mundane, where no suspension of disbelief is required, but unseen forces are still lurking just out of sight.
Jim Hittinger received a BFA from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan and an MFA from The University of Minnesota. His work has been widely exhibited locally and nationally, including exhibitions at Whitdel Arts in Detroit, Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and Hair and Nails Gallery in Minneapolis. He is a lecture faculty member in the Department of Art at The University of Minnesota.
