Fleisher From a Distance: the Art of Calligraphy

Join us for a studio visit with Candace Jensen, an interdisciplinary visual artist, writer, printmaker, calligrapher, activist, and woods witch. She incorporates book arts traditions into her craft while exploring themes of linguistics, mythology, and deep ecology. In this studio visit, she will discuss her approach to incorporating calligraphy into her two-dimensional works, share some new sketches and works in progress, as well as demonstrate a few of her calligraphy tools and techniques, in her temporary at-home studio space in southeastern Vermont.

Candace completed both her BFA and MFA in Philadelphia, at the Tyler School of Art and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, respectively. Her work was featured in the 2019-20 Fleisher Art Memorial Wind Challenge series, and the artist also exhibited two other solo shows in 2020; Deep Green Query, at Amos Eno Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, and Arts & Letters, at the Putney Public Library. This year she is slated to sail on the 2021 Arctic Circle Residency, off of Svalbard, Norway. The artist lives and works in SE Vermont, the traditional and unceded lands of the Western Abenaki people.
