Plcture Hanging with Two Cables Plcture Henglfg with One Cable Sandy Marostica February 5, 2009 Meridian Arts Commission Attn: Initial Point Gallery 33 East Broadway Meridian, ID 83642 HAND-DELIVERED Dear Committee Members: 320 Union Street Boise, ID 83702 208 342-3195 1 appreciate the opportunity to submit a proposal to exhibit my work at the Initial Point Gallery. I have visited the gallery and think it's a wonderful space. I would consider it a real privilege to exhibit there. My Vision for the Exhibit This series, called "How We Know," addresses knowledge, imagination and creativity, and combines the "Arts" with the "Sciences." Over the past five years, I have created a body of work -- consisting of polyester-plate lithographs*, painted collages, and digital imagery -- that plays with scientific and mathematical concepts as inspired by antiquated illustrations. Currently, the series totals over 30 lithographs, plus larger-scale hand-colored prints, collages and paintings. The black backgrounds suggest a btackbaard, but also create a feeling of an intimate stage, or possibly a tableau unfolding in the mind. At first glance, the collages may seem to be a form of illustration, but my intent is not to present a straightforward explanation of a scientific or mathematic scenario, but to have fun with science. Since this series is mainly monochrome (heavily black and white, with some hand-colored pieces), l would propose to also exhibit my bird collages, which are colorful and will complement the main body of work since they are also nature- and- science-based. If the gallery has plexiglass cubes for exhibiting small sculptures, I can include a few "bird box" collages, as well. *These prints begin as digital collages created with the Phatoshop software program. Each collage is printed via laserjet printer onto a polyester plate. These plates replace the pencil-on-stone process of traditional lithography. Hand-applied pressure transfers ink from the plate to the paper, replacing the printing press in this relatively-new alternative fne-art printing process. Description ofi Exhibit I envision I can fill the space with the following: 25-30 framed lithographs 5 framed digital prints in the range of 16x20" ^ 3 paintings with the same subject matter (more color than black and white) ^ 2-3 bird drawers (see example on disk) ^ 2 "bird box" collages if plexiglass cases are available Meridian Arts Commissio??

I would also send postcards to local schools since this body of work is vela*_ed to how we !earn. Issues FianginQlvispiaying the Work AU the works for t}~i~ proposed exhibit have, or will have, all. D-rings. on the sides.. I wotdd be happy to-hang theexhibit, or work with City employees in doing so. I hope this. Cir-y wil! consider my proposed exhibit during the time frame of *he last six months. of the year because of conflicts with festivals and other exhibits. Thank you for offering area artists this great opportunity: Sincerely, Sandy Marostica Enc. BioQraphy of Artist -Sandy Marostica I grew up on a farm in the Roswell area near the Idaho/Oregon border, and began making art at the age of six, using remains of my mom's paint-by-numbers kits, and my dad's instructions in "how to draw horses." In the following 50 years, I built upon that base by experimenting on my own, by taking community classes in drawing and painting, and by earning a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Boise State University in 1985, where my main interests were black-and-white photography and oil painting. Alongside painting, which has been a constant in my life, I have also used collage, digital imagery and printmaking to embody my artistic ideas. Each medium seems to me to best suit a specific subject. Oil painting has been my choice to create art about the West -its landscapes and people -while digital techniques and lithography have proven perfect media for my series about scientific and mathematical concepu. Collage seems to perfectly fit my "bird" works -and nature itself is a kind of collage! Over the past 30 years, I have exhibited my work in one-person and group exhibits, juried shows and competitions, including: "Idaho Paints Idaho" -The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho ^ "Sustaining Change on the American Farm" - Maryhill Museum " 38`~ Annual Art Exhibit and Auction" -Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings My work is included in numerous public collections, such as: Center for Advanced Healing at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center ^ Boise City's Digital Art Collection and Visual Chronicle Collection Healthwise Blue Cross of Idaho Student Union Collection at Boise State University Native American Student and Community Center Collection at Portland State University The works proposed for exhibit at the Initial Point Gallery have earned inclusion in several prestigious festivals and exhibits in the past four years: Scottsdale Fine Arts and Crafts Festival ^ Sun Valley Center Arts & Crafts Festival ^ Art in the Pearl in Portland National Print Competition and Exhibition at the University of Missouri at Kansas City ^ PACE 2007 and PACE 2005 (a biennial international juried postcard art competition), Curt Teich Archives, Lake County Discovery Museum in Wauconda, Illinois Other artistic high points in my life are the award of Jentel artist residency (2006), and publication in the books Messages from Idaho (M.J. Murdock Charitable Foundation 2007) and The Contemporary Idaho Artist. A Selected Survey (Idaho Commission on the Arts 1991), and Artisan Northwest Magazine (Winter 2005/6), and The Artists' Magazine (Nov. 2005). Exhibit C ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: I 5ij~y~a /~//n.a~~'~ ,hereby acknowledge the following stipulations and agree that if my/my organiz~rt work is selected for display at Initial Point Gallery, such display shalt occur subject to these general terms and conditions, as well as subject to other specific terms and conditions that shall be set forth in a separate, written Acceptance Agreement between myself and the City of Meridian.
