A powerful collection of Zen-like images entice viewers into the small spaces of each work (2x3" to 5x6") while holding the connection in the moment. Neither simply notational nor ever deliberately referential, the images convey an essential energy and have a monumentality that belies their physical size. Each well-considered work, whether framed alone or in groupings, has a cohesiveness of intention that delivers the sense of a moment, singular in duration and spin. In contrast, monotypes of deep somber color fill the final room- three large prints with a circular format of undulating marks, and a suite of six implied landscapes with sweeping horizontal direction and blasts of light and dark.

C. C. Vess exhibits at Gallery 10, with Group 93 of The American University, and presented large scale installations at Art-O-Matic I and II. Exhibiting nationally and internationally, she has shown etchings and paintings most recently in Italy.
