| A review of Place Poem prints in the “Works on Paper” Exhibit at the Marion Arts Center, Marion, MA by art critic and curator, David Boyce.
“… Ms. Bradley’s dozen monoprints employ a technique which layers photographic images of natural landscapes, flora, and fauna, built upon the outline forms of Gothic window arches and similar architectonic frameworks. In paeans to the Victorian sensibility of urging a spiritual return to nature, she employs modern technology in this body of work to both illuminate and belie her delight in its flexibility. But she hasn’t fully eschewed the artist’s hand here, enhancing her images further with applied paint, colored pencil, inks, and gold leaf. In addition, she has included in the lower margin of several of these works the poetry of the little-known Victorian writer Eliza Keary. The results bear an affinity to illustration, but with an intriguing perspective depth.” |
