Amanda Manitach interviews painter Susanna Bluhm about her work currently on view in the exhibition look at the crown with which his mother crowned him at Prole Drift, Seattle, Washington, through July 14, 2012.
Manitach writes that Bluhm's "new work at Prole Drift cites the darker passages of the Song of Solomon and comprises fifteen prints pulled from a single plate that's been etched with images of an infant's incubator, breathing tubes, little foxes, twigs, creeping ivy and bottles of milk. The prints themselves are wildly different, having been inked or wiped with varying degrees of thickness, then collaged or painted over."
