The Maker/Mentor Series is one of the cornerstones of RoCo annual programming. This program highlights one of the Rochester area’s “living treasures.” The artist selected is one who has been influential in the local arts scene for a number of years and in that time has helped to shape the careers of many others. The artist is then asked to select a group of other artists to exhibit with her.
As Founding Director of the VSW Press, a leading publisher and printer of artists’ books, Lyons has been active in the evolution and definition of the field and responsible for the production of more than 400 books by artists. Selected titles from the VSW Press are included in this exhibition.
Lyons has shown her work national and locally for over the past three decades. Her work is grounded in the understanding that photography and print, in their myriad permutations, are inextricably connected. This exhibition includes silver gelatin prints, archaic photography processes, pinhole photography, offset lithography, Haloid-Xerography, digital prints, a cyanotype quilt and artist’s books.
