Prints are motionless. Prints can move. Prints depicting water hold the viewer rapt,
caught between the stillness of the surface and motion which extends beneath and
beyond the paper. Each of the printmakers in Currents celebrates water in different
manners. From the early20th century color woodblock prints of acclaimed Canadian
printmaker Walter J. Phillips to the multi-layered and experimental prints of the
contemporary artists, each print captures in time the fluidity of the ink and of
the subject.

Deborah Cornell works in traditional and digital prints, installation, and virtual
reality. She has exhibited internationally in France, Australia, Finland, UK, and
Iceland. Her artwork is in the M.F.A. and collections in the U.S. and abroad. She
