Trained in
landscape architecture and urban planning and a self-taught screen printer,
Todd Stewart works by printing identical images many times withing a given
space until a composition emerges. The pieces are built “by exposing the
control and precision of illustration to the unpredictability and chance
inherent to the printmaking process.” His Cityscape series explores the
landscape of both well-known and obscure cities; most are places Stewart has
not physically visited. “I am acutely aware of how construction -with regards
to both structure and meaning-informs my work. These abstract land and
cityscapes embody both serenity and instability, resulting in dreamlike tension
from which subjective narratives can be born. Working from a base of imagery
culled internally-from memory, dreams, past experience-and externally-from my
immediate surroundings-I create pieces that consciously allow for open interpretation
and multiple perspectives.” The works “reflect a search for meaning in
unfamiliar landscapes.” Stewart’s work is available online at his Etsy shop.
