David Linger | In Plain View
March 18 – April 17, 2010
Reception: Saturday, March 20, 2010, 3:00 – 5:00pm

ACCESS Program artist David Linger produces porcelain works that are deeply rooted in the historical
past. He draws from ancient traditions of recording on clay as a form of documentation into his own
practice. Linger creates multi-panel documents using a combination of screen-printing and intaglio
techiniques adapted for use with fine porcelain. These works feature text that acts both as a visual
complement to the screened image, and as a narrative underscoring an essential aspect of the image.

By firing personal stories into vitrified porcelain Linger seeks to preserve the function of the medium as a
document of human life. By doing so he places the precious quality and eternal nature of porcelain in
tension with a recounting of the disposable banalities of an intimate past.
