<description><![CDATA[ April 4 - June 24,  2012  - These two artists are paired because of their sensitivity to media and the layering of artistic elements. Durfee uses etchings, woodcut and paper constructions to visually describe reflection and interpretation of \"the internal psychological environment.\" Text is a key part of Hancock\'s paintings. She finds inspiration in thoughts as text and layers the words with images and color.
