`ALTERED STATES': MONOTYPES BY DALLAS ARTIST WILL BE EXHIBITED AT GALLERY 100

"Altered States: Monotypes by Cecelia Feld," will open Friday at Gallery 100.

Feld's one-of-a-kind prints are called monotypes, a process which combines painting and printmaking techniques. The image is developed on a flat plate, then transferred by hand or press to another surface, usually paper.

The Dallas, Texas-based artist often uses the faint image left on the plate after printing to create a new print, manipulating this "ghost" to redefine the original image.

Feld is the recipient of a MacDowell Colony artist residency award. The MacDowell Colony is located at a secluded spot in New Hampshire where artists, writers and composers work in an uninterrupted atmosphere.

An opening reception will be held from 5-7 p.m. Friday at the gallery, 100 N. Sprigg St. The show will continue through Oct. 24.
