Devlin Shea’s prints continue her exploration of everyday vignettes that she observes in life. The prints feature emotionally intense or intimate moments, the tensions between the figures brought out by close cropping. In each risograph print Shea has layered her compositions, creating complex accumulations of different fragments for the viewer to piece together.
