Lynn Batchelder, Associate Professor

Batchelder researches and references some of the earliest recorded forms of human mark making such as crosshatching and engraving. By painstakingly marking, cutting, and collecting, she draws attention to the fundamental human impulse to record information through permanent acts, and its inherent search for meaning. This investigation results in a range of dualities, outcomes that challenge traditional engraving techniques through more experimental—expressive, and at times aggressive—carving and chiseling, marks that represent the space between cataloging information and the memory of primal actions.
