‘Material Witness’ on display at PC’s PUB

A solo exhibition by Port Townsend artist Elissa Greisz entitled, “Material Witness” will be on display through March 14 in the PUB Gallery of Art at Peninsula College, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles

Greisz will give an artist talk at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, in the Little Theater as a part of Peninsula College’s Studium Generale lecture series, with a reception following in the gallery.

“My artwork is a hybrid,” Greisz said. “I pull references from various cultures and use unusual materials – from linoleum floor tiling to nail polish to cast-off aluminum printing plates, in order to create a collage-like synthesis.”

Both the exhibition and Studium events are free and open to the public.
