R.H. Quaytman

Exhibition Guide, Chapter 15 (DvS6)

A precisely rendered silkscreen on gessoed wood, this work by R.H. Quaytman operates within her signature chapter-based practice, where image, text, and surface are treated as interconnected systems of meaning. The cool, graphic quality of the silkscreen process is offset by the warm, absorbent texture of the gesso ground, creating a tension between reproduction and handcraft. As part of Chapter 15, the piece engages with the conceptual architecture of the exhibition itself, implicating the viewer's act of navigation and interpretation as central to the work.
