About the art:
'Fugl' is the Icelandic word for bird, and also happens to be what I ran across during my time in the East Fjords. There are many beautiful things across the country of Iceland, but a lot of my photography practice likes to focus on the details of smaller, less noticed things around us.

About the artist:
Claire Krüeger has been a Beechmont resident since 2021. She studied art and anthropology at New College of Florida and received an MFA in Photography & Film at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013.
Artist statement:
When hope is lost, I turn to the earth. I investigate natural processes shaping our world and portray ecological phenomena with a mix of natural fibers and dyes, which fade over time, and synthetic materials, which remain static. Through this, we see differences in how humanity and nature perceive time and the clash of natural and manufactured worlds.

Featured Artist, June 16-23: Mark Mattes/Hot Brown Press
About the artist:
I founded Hot Brown Press in 2023. In part, HBP supports my work as an English professor at the University of Louisville, where I teach courses about how histories and technologies of "the book" shape literature. Many of my prints are about my interests in reading, writing, and bookish things. I also use Hot Brown Press to engage with communities that I deeply admire and to make fun stuff about cool things around town.
About the featured art piece:
"The Author & Her Books" is a letterpress print inspired by the poetry of Anne Bradstreet and Emily Dickinson. Using a quill ornament as the central building block for the parent bird and a book ornament as the central building block for their chicks, the work elaborates a bird-and-her-brood metaphor for authorship. The alphabetic elements accentuate the generational relationships of the metaphor, with uppercase letters used for the parent and lowercase letters used for the chicks.
