Finkelston is an artist, educator, and publisher based in Prairie Village, KS. “Now You See Me” is an ongoing series of photography-based linocut self-portraits. These two ways of making images – photography and printmaking – are emblematic of the balance between reality and fiction in Finkelston’s work. The prints each tell their own stories, with several recurring themes that represent the artist’s introspective thoughts and feelings about a wide range of topics. Themes include transition, metamorphoses, introspection, and ambiguity and their relationships to perceptions of religion, parenthood, magic, masculinity, and everyday life.
