Portfolio

Material Muse: Japanese Paper Inspiring Print
May 3 – 31, 2013‚ 10am – 5pm

Reception Friday May 24‚ 6 – 8pm

An exhibition of prints produced for Southern Graphics Council International Conference 2013
The twelve artists included in this portfolio each work differently, but all have decided to use Japanese paper because its unique characteristics enhance their own prints in some way. In choosing to print on washi – paper made by many caring hands – each artist’s work becomes a merging of creative processes, those of printmaker and papermaker, and the results are richer for it.
