Deep Dive

 

February 10 – March 5, 2024

Deep Dive is a solo exhibition by Duncan Berry, an Oregon Coast printmaker, photographer, poet, and environmental advocate whose eloquent gyotaku prints evoke the rhythm of the sea. Inspired by life at the wild edge of the continent, Berry creates composite print impressions taken directly from the inked surface of ocean creatures and plants, a process known as gyotaku printmaking. His one-of-a-kind compositions, printed on mulberry paper and mounted on birch panels, are stirring depictions of sea life. In this collection, he takes us on an immersive journey into the mysterious underwater realm just off our coastline. In addition to the familiar fish and marine life found near the surface, he includes expressive images of a beautiful and bizarre menagerie of ocean creatures that live beyond the reach of light, 5000 feet under the swell of the waves. The fantastical forms of these majestic denizens of the deep stoked the imagination of ancient seafarers to inspire myths, legends, and songs that live on today.
