DNSPE 2024 Print Symposium Print Exchange

I’m pleased to share that I recently took part in the pop-up alumni print exchange during the DNSPE 2024 Print Symposium Print Exchange, which ran from May 14 to July 20, 2024. This pop-up show was a special tribute to the collaboration between the University of Tennessee Knoxville and alumni artists from Arkansas State University. It featured an exciting display of exchanged prints in the passage connecting the Bradbury Art Museum and the Fowler Center theaters. Being part of this event was a wonderful experience, allowing me to showcase my work alongside fellow artists and celebrate the vibrant printmaking communities at both institutions.

New Sigil Stamp

I carved a little stamp of my personal sigil to use on the backs of my framed art and I just love it. It reminds me of the stone one I had made as a seal in Korea, but I am too afraid to use that one because I don’t want to mess it up. Heh.

Printmaking Weekend

It’s been a while since I’ve done any kind of printmaking, but over the weekend I went a little print crazy. I was only planning to do one 3 color print, but I got a little carried away and did two additional prints. Radiate, Consequence and Exposed. All are 6×4″ linocuts using the pink blocks that I have never used before. While they are excellent to cut, the printing was a bit difficult because of their flexibility. I think I would use these again in the future but maybe in conjunction with the typical wood-backed blocks for smaller, fully-cut details. Or possibly back the pink blocks.

At any rate, it was a learning experience and I am already looking forward to more printing in my future.
