Gallery Talk: LaToya M. Hobbs’s Preparatory Sketches

This event does not require registration; see further details below.

Join curatorial fellow Madeline Murphy Turner for a close look at detailed sketches that LaToya M. Hobbs made in preparation for her series Carving Out Time, a life-size suite of woodcuts on view in the special exhibition LaToya M. Hobbs: It’s Time. You’ll learn how Hobbs maps out her artistic vision on a small scale and with pencil—a process that allows her to compose and recompose each scene before committing to engraving the final woodcut matrix.

Led by:
Madeline Murphy Turner, Emily Rauh Pulitzer Curatorial Fellow in Contemporary Drawings, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
