Into the White Exhibit Cards

"Into the White" exhibit card, designed and letterpressed by David Wolske

David Wolske, local designer and letterpress genius (and I don’t use that term lightly), made the exhibit cards for Cara and Mary’s upcoming “Into the White” exhibition. His beautiful design captures so much about what art lovers can expect from the show. The minimalist design, like Cara and Mary’s art pieces, emphasizes the power of negative space and employs vertical rule to give a nod to Kayo’s long, tall gallery. The black-on-white type imitates the graphite-on-paper foundations of Cara and Mary’s works. And the metallic silver ink used for the exhibit’s title and date range foreshadow Cara’s use of silver wash throughout her pieces.

Big thanks to David Wolske — keep your eyes peeled for his upcoming exhibit at Alchemy Coffee in Salt Lake City.
