Satellite Print Project: <\/strong>Lesley (in orange) instructs visiting art students from Amherst College in hand stamping and stitching lithographs from two special satellite editions, one featuring Anne Hutchinson and the other Jonathan Edwards. Hutchinson (1591-1643) was a noted Massachusetts Bay Puritan Spiritual Advisor while Edwards (1703-1758) is widely regarded as one of America’s most important and original philosophical theologians. Both had close connections with Northampton, Massachusetts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Workshop<\/a>
Satellite Print Project:<\/strong> Visiting participants and students stencil words and apply stitching to a special series of small prints under Lesley\u2019s guidance in the Harnish Graphics studio. The 120 small lithographs were printed by Smith College Professor Emeritus Dwight Pogue and Visual Arts Technical Specialist Liz Bannish prior to the Workshop. Associate Professor of Art Lindsey Clark Ryan organized Smith students and participants to work with Lesley on the progressive stages of each print. Lesley signed the prints and gave one to each of the volunteer students and participants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Workshop: October 17-19, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Smith College Print Workshop is pleased to announce the publication of a new lithograph by Lesley Dill.\u00a0 Jonathan Edwards<\/em> (2019) published in association with Derriere L\u2019 Etoile Studios, New York, is an 8-color lithograph on Sekishu paper with hand-sewn elements.\u00a0 This new print draws upon Dill\u2019s recent body of work focusing on what she calls \u201cNew England settler obsessions with divinity and deviltry, of fears of the \u2018wilderness\u2019 both inside and outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

These new works turn toward history and some of the distinctive American voices to emerge during the first centuries of Anglo occupation.\u00a0 Continuing Dill\u2019s interest in the intersection of language and spirituality, these works feature the words of the colonial spiritual leader Anne Hutchinson and the influential Northampton-based theologian and preacher Jonathan Edwards, among others.\u00a0 Both these leaders used words to inspire their followers to connect with the divine.<\/p>\n

Dill\u2019s new prints features an image of Edwards with flames emerging from his head surrounded by his words: \u201cFrom childhood I had a variety of concerns about my soul\/An inward sweet delight\/I had great and violent inward struggles\/O Sinner, held over the pit of Hell as one holds a spider.\u00a0 Light sizzles around me.\u201d<\/p>\n
