Piece description from the artist
Aufheben means to both destroy and preserve, to simultaneously elevate and decimate. In my ever-growing series of drypoint prints I draw intuitively on the same zinc plates, cataloging my thoughts and emotions. Although each mark is eventually erased and obscured, reflections of my drawing are preserved in the print.
Emily Mogavero is a Brookline-based printmaker, painter, independent curator, and community builder. Using the print as a framework, her work explores constructions of memory and history through abstraction and chance. Emily has organized exhibitions with themes ranging from communal song to the projection of self. She received her BFA from Washington University in 2016 and has exhibited at Boston Center for the Arts, Mayyim Hayyim, Italian Contemporary Art, Post-Cubicle Gallery, Suffolk University Art Gallery, Laconia Gallery, among others.
