Amze Emmons, associate professor and program head of Printmaking at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, recently had a mid-career, solo exhibition entitled Amze Emmons: Pattern Drift at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, Maryland from August 2 to October 2, 2019. The exhibition featured a 15-year survey of Emmons’s printed work, selected drawings and artistic exploration. 

“For the past several years I have actively noticed certain kinds of visual phenomena such as portable and ephemeral building structures, improvised street furniture, and informal sites of exchange that tell a story of local agency, adaptation, and community," said Emmons. "When I travel in other cities around the US and abroad, I inevitably discover parallel phenomena.”

Additionally, Emmons was the Academy's Artist in Residence, hosting a three-day workshop in early August that explored zine-making, mini-comics and simple artists’ books.

An exhibition publication is also available for purchase at the Academy's front desk, which serves as a catalogue of Emmons's career to date.
