The 19 monotypes that Tucker Hill is showing this month at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington result from a difficult, pains-taking process. Although each picture is a print, it is unique and more like a painting than the photograph from which the image originates. Since Hill explains the monotype process at the show, I won’t detail it here.
The exhibition, called “Route 645 and Other Delights of Madison County”, displays informal, rural scenes that include no people, other animals or buildings. Views from Route 645 along Ragged Run and from other nearby roads, are in the vicinity of Old Rag Mountain. The 12 or more that include parts of a road often use the unpaved lane as an organizing element in the picture’s composition; this contributes to the natural, peaceful and unassuming character of Hill’s work.
