A few pieces of my artwork were featured in a truly amazing exhibition at the Disjecta Gallery in Portland, OR, during the SGCI 2016 Conference from March 30 - April 5.

This exhibition, curated by artist and printmaker Dylan McManus, presented, "a selection of works by artists who willingly embrace a hybrid approach towards their artistic practice.  Digital and traditional tools combine in innovative explorations that merge printmaking with the technologies of the 21st century."  

The exhibition featuring current works by artists: Tim Dooley and Aaron Wilson of Midwest Pressed,
Paul John and Anthony Tino of Endless Editions, Miguel Aragón, John Hitchcock, Jon Irving, Dylan McManus, Aaron Nelson, Ryan O’Malley, and myself.

The UNI Printmaker's Society had a blast at the exhibition, and we sincerely missed our professors Tim Dooley and Aaron Wilson (work shown here) who could not attend the 2016 SGCI Conference.

EXHIBITION REVIEW

This exhibition and the artwork of each artist was reviewed on the art e-journal Aeqai. "ÆQAI (pronounced ‘I’ as in ‘bite ‘ and ‘qai ‘ as in ‘sKY’ ) is a Cincinnati-based e-journal for critical thinking, review and reflective prose on contemporary visual art." - Aequi
​
"I was especially impressed by the one artist in the show with whom I was unfamiliar...Dana Potter is making exciting work that navigates the post digital like a scalpel releasing rainbows from inside a robot."

At the 2016 Southern Graphics Council International Conference, Portland, OR. I received the Undergraduate Printmaking Fellowship. I was very humbled to receive this award and had a wonderful time in Portland, OR. 

Thanks again to the Southern Graphic Council for making the awards possible, Charles Beneke for heading up the award selection and ceremony, for the Portland SGCI executive team for putting on an amazing conference, and to my mentors Tim Dooley and Aaron Wilson for five excellent years of Printmaking at the University of Northern Iowa.

SGCI 2016 Awardee page
As featured on the 2016 SGCI website, here is the description for my receiving this award:
As an emerging printmaker, this award couldn’t be more thrilling. SGCI Conferences have been a huge source of inspiration during my undergraduate studies. I recently graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking. This award will help me as I set off into the world as an emerging artist and graduate school applicant. In addition to my artistic endeavors I currently work as a user interface designer. With the help of this fellowship I plan to explore imagery and visualizations of action relating to user interface design. I’m particularly interested in interface icons as objects and prints. These icons include symbols such as mouse roll-over icons and touch-command symbols. They allow you to simulate different actions digitally and receive information. I will explore the ways in which visualizations of these actions and the incorporation of symbols may contextualize in prints as a way of recording action. What about a user interface entices interaction? How does context and medium change the interpretation of an icon’s purpose and meaning? I will first explore these actions and icons as etchings, and then move on to incorporate other possible print media. Thank you to this year’s Southern Graphic Council International Awards Committee for this award, and to my mentors Tim Dooley and Aaron Wilson for supporting me.
