Flight Paths: Selected Prints 2000 - 2015 by Charles Cohan

The  exhibition Flight Paths surveys 15 years of prints by Honolulu based printmaker Charles Cohan. The title refers to the various trajectories that Cohan has investigated since 2000, and reflects his interest in a diverse range of content developed though traditional hand printmaking media. Works presented in the exhibit represent the execution of images in the techniques of stone lithography, zinc plate etching, drypoint on copper, collagraph, woodcut, and screenprinting.
