New RSG Artists: Introducing Tara Murino-Brault

Since the beginning, symbolism has been a prominent theme in my work. Images such as bones, trees, animals, hands, and religious icons communicate ideas about cultural power and powerlessness, spiritualism, mortality, and rebirth. I enjoy playing with opposing elements such as light and dark, reason and folly, or good and evil, and the interdependence of each to define the other. With iconic etchings, I create an illustrative approach to communicate at a deeper level and to engage people in a larger narrative beyond the image.

Printmaking is my main medium, and I tend towards the practices of relief, screen and intaglio printmaking. These processes allow me to produce graphic images with different emphases, one vibrant in layered color, and the other rich with velvety blacks. I enjoy the tactile quality of making prints as well, and find that the physical nature of the process creates an extra layer of definition and meaning in each print.
