Exhibition Statement (provided by the artist)
Kristin Adolfson examines current and historical issues surrounding nuclear weapons, the atomic era, and military and scientific ethics in new letterpress and lithographic prints. The work, ranging from textual broadsides to multi-layered photographic halftones, explores the mechanics of various printing processes to address the historical events of our nuclear era.
