In "To the Muse", Myrna Burks presents her second solo show at Carter Burden Gallery. The body of monoprints that are featured in the exhibition were created in the Spring of 2016 and inspired by the Japanese Yatsuro papers in which they are printed on. Long and vertical, each luscious print was made on an etching press with collage shapes by direct rolling or brushing of the plexiglass plate. Often there is a ghost image left on the plate after the first print, which then propels the next print into being. Burks writes, “Some artwork seems to make itself and when that happens be grateful to the muse.”
