Art exhibit

“Colorful Complexity: Art by Kayte Rose” will be on display at Sharpsburg Community Library from June 16-21.

Rose’s approach involves using the flat pane of paper to create intricate three-dimensional shapes of high contrast and shadow. Over the years, Rose has experimented with more complex origami concepts and CMYK as a color base, which is then misaligned to show layering and to create more visual depth.

More information about the artist is available at burnsbothends.tumblr.com.
