JASMIN FOOKES and JACOB SEMKO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March 1 \u2013 April 26, 2019
Closing Reception:  Friday, April 12   7-9pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STM Gallery is pleased to present a selection of work by Saskatoon-based artists Jasmin Fookes and Jacob Semko.

First crossing paths while in the BFA program at the University of Saskatchewan, Jacob and Jasmin now find themselves working together in partnership through the CARFAC SK Mentorship Program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the \nlast 15 years Jacob has completed an MFA at the University of \nCincinnati, traveled internationally visiting printmaking studios as a \nresident, an instructor, and a printer. He has been exposed to hundreds \nof techniques, countless processes, and worked with dozens of \nprintmakers continually gaining new insight into state of the art \ntechniques, especially in the new wave of \u201cgreen\u201d or non-toxic \nprintmaking, which he incorporates into his practice. Creating in \ndifferent studios has allowed Jacob to make work that pushes the limits \nof each print shop\u2019s capabilities regardless of how modest or grand the \nfacility may be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacob\u2019s diverse series of prints are a direct\n response to his geographical location with the work visually \nillustrating how the changing environment affects his inner psyche. He \naccomplishes this through narrative and metaphor often drawing from \nprevious printmaking traditions, schools and movements. His artwork and \nprofessional practice are constantly evolving with new series informed \nfrom the previous and inspired by the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasmin\u2019s \nwanderlust also took her around the world where she participated in \nseveral diverse creative workshops. She lived in London for a few years \nfully immersed in a thriving art and printmaking community. While rooted\n in traditional print media practices Jasmin is drawn to the integration\n of unconventional materials and leveraging a hybrid of analogue and \ndigital processes. She often incorporates hand embroidery and machine \nstitching and explores substrates other than paper, working on a series \nrather than an edition of identical prints. Her research explores nature\n as a representative of the spiritual realm, honouring the merely \npersonal dimension of existence while moving towards the ineffable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While\n the focus of this mentorship to date has been on Jasmin\u2019s specific goal\n of applying to MFA programs they look forward to the final few months \nof total creative freedom and exploration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
