Karen Kunc, ‘Orb Weaving’, woodcut, 2008, 18x18”

Karen Kunc’s woodcuts and etchings address the ideas of the eternal forces that shape the natural world as a means to capture a moment, the alignment of chance encounters, the immeasurability of time and distance, and the invisible physical forces at work. She has put these notions into iconic images of creation, preservation, and allusions to human myth and metaphor.

Karen Kunc is a Nebraska native, and currently the Cather Professor of Art at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, where she has taught since 1983. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and has taught numerous printmaking workshops around the world.
