Artist-in-Residence Jeff Zimpel

Artist-in-Residence Jeff Zimpel will premiere a virtual short film this Friday at NOON to launch his exhibition “An Ecology of Marks”. Tune in to the A@L Facebook or Instagram pages to hear Jeff highlight the themes of the exhibition and give us insight on his body of work.

An Ecology of Marks is an exhibit that begins with a celebration of the power of paint, that shifts into an exploration of the variables of mark-making influenced by the natural world. Earth pigment paints tell us stories of place, brushes wash up on the shores of Lake Michigan, and non-traditional surfaces encourage divergent approaches to composition. Every person is a mark-maker in multitudes, yet we have much to learn from marks made by the animate world around us. Artist Educator Jeff Zimpel brings together a wide-range of mark-makers to amplify and document the hope embedded within any given mark.

**All in-person programming requires proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test within the last 72 hours of the event.**
