Humanography: Paramythia
An Exhibition of Contemporary Myths & Tales by Matina Marki Tillman

‍

Opening Reception: Saturday Oct. 3rd, 2026, 2-5 pm

‍

Greek artist Matina Marki Tillman will exhibit her new series of Humanography – etchings of the real and imaginary human – at the Washington Printmakers Gallery during the month of October. The exhibition will present Tillman’s evolving collection of hand-pulled etched fables and tales. “Paramythia” – meaning in Greek both “fairy tales”. and “consolation” – while contemporary in subject, borrow from the familiar shape of perennial tales and their symbolic, solacing language. To create her etchings, Tillman mainly used her own drawings on transparent media, and a few of her original digital collages. Her varied editions of fine art prints were all produced with the solar plate technique, using ultraviolet light and water instead of acid and ground to etch the images. An opening reception will be held on Saturday October 3rd, 2-5pm.
