In the Windows

Looking Back

A selection of new and early works

by Patty Boonstra

3rd -13th July 2023

These works, not previously seen in Stromness, are from Patty’s exhibition at the Loft earlier this summer. It is a selection from a body of work created over a period of more than forty years. Trained as a printmaker, Patty has explored dry-point and linocut and occasionally broken free of the technical restrictions of printmaking and made large expressionistic drawings and collages. Her early works were partly autobiographical and more recently have been prompted by cultural matters such as the controversy over nudity in art.
