Fine art printmaker Elizabeth Busey will create two-dimensional prints depicting the three-dimensional patterns found in nature for an audience next Friday, Oct. 2, at the WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology, according to a press release.
The session, titled “First Friday Evening Science of Art: Printmaking,” is part of a downtown-wide celebration of the arts on the first Friday of every month.
Regular admission is $7. Half-price general museum admission will be in effect from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., according to the release.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to try letterpress printing and use leaves to explore a printmaking method that involves gelatin and ink. These activities are included in the price of admission.
A small plate meal created by the Bloomington Cooking School will be available to buy in the museum’s cafe, according to the release.
WonderLab is located at 308 W. Fourth St. on the B-Line Trail in the Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District.
Busey’s art was also on display at the Fourth Street Festival of the Arts and Crafts.
“I explore the beauty and mystery of these natural patterns in a style that is both representative but also somewhat abstracted,” Busey said in the release. “I want the viewer to find the work at once familiar and compelling as they ask themselves what they are seeing and how this pattern came to be.”
