Capozzi: Sub-Rosa Suite in the Patterns in Practice exhibition, digital inkjet and silkscreen on paper, each 22 x 30 inches
Statement
In the Sub-Rosa Suite I explore the graphical construction of the fine art print, focusing on the pared down elements that serve as a single common denominator throughout the suite, i.e. the silkscreen linework or digital wood veneer template. This constructive approach reflects notions of Industrial Revolution methodology represented in a graphical visual form.
My images materialize through the interleaving of graphic techniques – a play between mark-making and methods of transfer. The act of drawing is my choice means to create and recreate reality, where after, I employ reproductive elements of the printmaking medium.
Conceptually, I find the term “sub-rosa” pertinent, interesting and particularly relevant in critique of contemporary politics and culture. The term sub-rosa, or “under the rose” is used in English to denote secrecy and imply covert activity.

My submission to Ecotones and Transition Zones details my current investigations on challenges and reclamation of local geography of New York State’s Hudson River Valley. Through various treks, raking the riverbanks and railways of the historic river, I have accumulated a vast collection of cast offs from nature and artifacts of the Industrial Revolution. My accumulations are then considered, arranged and displayed. The videotaped process then migrates to a documentation of digital prints based on the video stills that reveal the process and patterning of my research.
Please join us for a preview, reception and raffle for the Field Notes: States of Mind collaboration project.

During the early half of 2009 five participants formed a collective for a project titled Field Notes. The group shares common interests related to the earth’s structure, resources, and inhabitants. They rented a 3rd floor studio space at the Barrett Clay Works, and drew numbers to establish a sequence for the project. Each artist then had one week to produce an installation, leaving behind an object in the space for the following artist to contemplate and react to. Documentation and prints from this project will be exhibited at the upcoming Graphica Creativa Print Triennial in Jyväskylä, Finland, June 13 – September 29, 2009.
Graphica Creativa is the oldest international print exhibition in the Nordic countries, taking place in Jyväskylä, Finland every third year. The first Graphica Creativa took place in 1975. The purpose of the exhibition is to raise the standard and value of printmaking, to launch and promote printmaking itself and to increase the interest in printmaking in Finland.
Thanks to Graphica Creativa Jyväskylä has become a centre of printmaking. To carry out the project an association called The Graphica Creativa Society was formed in the 1970’s, and since then it has managed to make printmaking more known. Founded in 1978 The Centre for Printmaking offers working space to printmakers and arranges varying print exhibitions. The collection of The Association of Finnish Printmakers, which today contains nearly 4800 prints, was placed permanently in Jyväskylä in 1981.

A REGIONAL JURIED EXHIBITION
MAR. 12 – APR. 17, 2009
Opening reception Friday, March 13, 2009 6-8pm
mmmm….my piece is titled “Neapolitan” will be in the upcoming exhibition titled FOOD. Here are some notes:
Neapolitan ice cream is chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream side-by-side in the same container (typically with no packaging in between).
Neapolitan ice cream was named in the late 19th century as a reflection of its presumed origins in the cuisine of the Italian city of Naples, and the many Neapolitan immigrants who brought their expertise in frozen desserts with them to the United States.
…consists of three layers, each of a different color and flavor moulded into a block and cut into slices. Neapolitan ice-cream makers were famous in Paris at the beginning of the 19th century, especially Tortoni, creator of numerous ice-cream cakes.
I have visited the Café Tortoni in Buenos Aires. Mmmmmm!
Neapolitan: my FOOD submission
I was recently a participant, among other SUNY New Paltz Faculty and selected alumni, in representing our program at the Hongik University 20th Anniversary Printmaking Exhibition in Seoul, Korea. Participants were chosen for their combined emphasis on cross-disciplinary research, technical proficiency and conceptual subject matter.
