Gorsuch Summer EndsSummer Ends, linocut/monoprint, 13"x 19", 2017
STIRLING GORSUCH
AVA Artist in residence, January-April 2018

Stirling Gorsuch, whose work is widely known regionally, has worked almost exclusively in the realm of printmaking the last six years, including mixed media, combining prints with drawings, paintings and collage. 

Gorsuch’s current work is driven by a general curiosity about how the natural world develops over time. From memories and drawings, he depicts certain places he has visited as starting points to build on. He focuses intently on these particular locales, contemplating their history, while also re-discovering them through the creative process.

“As I spend more time 
revisiting these places, I become more enamored with their complex natural history, and the rich visual experience accompanying them,” he explains. “In consideration for new images, I’m searching for a story in the landscape that I can accentuate through visual means. Signs of geological activity, or indications of how weather has shaped the land are examples of what fascinate me as an observer.”
