So cool to see some of the art from the workshop I did with Poppy’s class @madmuseum framed!

I’ve been inviting anyone who comes through my studio at MAD to make a drawing that we RISO print onto patterns I’ve printed.

I’ve been making a bunch of little #risograph collages on white paper with sewing, and I decided to scale up a bit. 30” x 22” RISOs on handmade papers, Stonehenge paper, sewing

I’m excited to be an Artist-in-Residence @madmuseum for the next 6 months. I’ve moved the #RISO in! Come see me on Thursdays and make some prints!

Just a little over a week to see New Voices: On Transformation at Print Center! Being a part of the New Voices cohort has been an amazing experience! Posted @withregram • @chermosa New Voices: On Transformation, on view til August 25 at @printcenternewyork in Chelsea! It was so inspiring to gather these eight amazing artists from the open call (🚨 applications open for the next New Voices!), and let their deep dives into a capacious theme, and endlessly transforming medium, shine. 💥 All appreciation to the artists: Aaron Coleman (@aaron_s_coleman ), Julia Curran (@julia.s.curran), Juana Estrada Hernández (@juanaseemyprints), Lois Harada (@loisharada), Nina Jordan (@ninjor_prints), Farah Mohammad (@famojee), Jacquelyn Strycker (@thestrycker), and Eriko Tsogo (@erikotsogo). This exhibition is only a dip into your amazingly varied practices, but I love the in-person experience of your recent work’s range of techniques, ideas, histories, and “printy” beauty & pressure. 💥

Poppy and I visited @printcenternewyork today! We had fun with my work and she really loved @loisharada ‘s “Wish you were here” penny press! Such a brilliant way to initiate a serious discussion about the US’s incarceration of Japanese Americans.
