Meghan Gerety

For more than a decade, Meghan Gerety has made large-scale woodblock prints with plywood. In her recent work, she uses the woodblock processes of carving and rolling-on color to create wood reliefs that incorporate qualities from printmaking and sculpture. Inspired by 17th-century Dutch vanitas and memento mori paintings—as well as more contemporary artists like Andy Warhol—Gerety confronts mortality and the passage of time through this new series, which features skulls and flowers, among other symbolic objects.
