The Ely Center of Contemporary Art is pleased to present Stone Screen, a solo exhibition of Anita Maksimiuk in the Flat File gallery. 

Maksimiuk uses migration and urban elements to represent her experience as a first-generation American. Maksimiuk uses imagery that includes parts of the American Southwest, Eastern Europe and everything that make up the five boroughs of New York City, which she calls home. “When creating a body of work, I consider my role as a new American, keeper of multiple cultures and a maker working in highly physical processes that demand patience, time and both hands. The works displayed here combine the highly graphic, commercial history of screen print with the organic, somewhat elusive nature of the lithography stone.” Included on display is a screen used to create her prints, adding insight into their creation.
