Biography
Gretchen Schermerhorn is a printmaker and hand papermaker, and her work often combines the two media. Her work is a study of mapped visual relationships between humans, science, politics and psychology. More specifically, she is interested in depicting the short lived genetic bond that forms between us when we engage socially-be it through virtual communication or open discussion. She communicates visually through diagrams of imagined space involving interaction, entanglement, memory and contemplation.
