\"301(1)\"<\/a>Just can\u2019t think of anyone who doesn\u2019t admire Martha Klein: her textiles, her paintings, her spot-on Netflix movie recommendations. At the start of 2016, she is concentrating on \u201cimagery built from line- and mark-making.\u201d This, she says, \u201cis an activity or theme I\u2019ve played with in the past but haven\u2019t really pursued as far as I\u2019d like. It\u2019s fun to play with repetition and variation, both intentional and accidental, and let the rhythm appear more or less on its own.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMadame B,\u201d the work shown here (in the collection of Julie Etulain), isn\u2019t a new piece, but shows \u201cexactly what I have in mind. It was done by covering a monotype plate with ink and then systematically removing it to create the figure and her dress. I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019ll focus much on figures, and I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019ll maybe try out some linocuts,\u201d says Klein. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to see how this idea would work with that medium. I\u2019ve also bought sets of Inktense pencils and sticks. So drawing, drawing, drawing. It\u2019s a very open time,\u201d the artist observes.<\/p>\n

Her art career really began with an interest in fabric and color going \u201call the way back to when I learned to sew when I was about 4.\u201d Then, in 1982, she got an MFA in textiles from USU with a minor in printmaking. For many years, she worked as a dyer, \u201ccreating art to wear from hand-dyed silk fabrics, mostly using a variety of traditional Japanese techniques.\u201d Dyeing, she says, \u201cgives you an understanding of color right down to its guts, and to this day nothing fascinates me more. I could stand around all day mixing inks. In the last 15 years or so I returned to printmaking, mostly making monotypes which are often hand-colored with oil glazes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done a lot, a lot of teaching, a lot of different media, a lot of art work. I\u2019m doing less now, but still learning, still enjoying it.\u201d Klein\u2019s website is www.kleinpaceart.com.<\/em><\/p>\n
