> DESCRIPTION
This is a show with artists who are using a method of image-making discovered while filling the margins of high school notebooks, on the covers of textbooks, in secret sketch books - the images produced in place of history notes or chemical formulas.  These artists are by no means making adolescent art; they have taken those image-making techniques and applied them to express mature ideas.  As artists who have graduated high school and beyond, who are no longer taking notes in a classroom; we're still making the images, which, as it turns out, weren't simply a way to pass the time.   They were a way of validating our actions in the face of an authority.
