    Printscapes: Impressions of Nature by Rachelle Puryear and Lars Nyberg. Explore the scenic horizons of Sweden through the printed work of two Stockholm artists. ASHM presents the work of artists Rachelle Puryear and Lars Nyberg. Puryear creates etchings, screenprints and photogravures that originate from her impressions of nature and poetry. Nyberg’s drypoints depicting Swedish winters appear sparsely drawn but, upon closer investigation, each image erupts with detail. Both artists take a familiar section of reality, whether it is a leaf, a building, or a tree, and present it as something new. Visitors can use magnifying glasses to explore intricate details of the work. The artists’ tools, etched plates, and paper substrates further express the diverse realms of printmaking.
