\n Werger’s work explores themes of time/space and the natur e of representation as shared experience. Through the media of etching and mezzotint\, these pieces attempt to place the viewer into an\n active rela tionship with the image. The artist says\, “The subject is presented in a realistic manner but often observed from an oblique aerial angle\, forcing the viewer into an unusual role\, not\n unlike the omniscient narrator in a work of fiction. From this position\, the environment lays out flat in f ront of the viewer. The viewer is privy to the work below\, yet curiously r emoved from it.\n As a cinematic device\, this abstract angle allows for a n overview of the scene as well as an introduction to the characters within the environment. This is intended to suggest a narrative which\n ultimate ly requires the viewers’ participation.”\n
\n\n Werger is curren tly a Professor of Art and Foundations Director at Ohio University in Athen s\, Ohio. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin- Madison in 1982\, and a Bachelor\n of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island Scho ol of Design in 1978.
