May 24, 2023

I’m so excited to announce that I am one of eight artists selected for Print Center New York’s inaugural New Voices Cohort, along with Aaron Coleman, Julia Curran, Juana Estrada Hernández, Lois Harada, Nina Jordan, Farah Mohammad, and Eriko Tsogo.

The accompanying exhibition, On Transformation, is curated by Carmen Hermo, Associate Curator for the Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, with assistance from Robin Siddall, Exhibitions and Programs Coordinator at Print Center New York. The opening reception is Thursday, June 1, from 6PM - 8PM. The show runs through August 26, 2023.

Working on this green monster. Sewn risographs on cotton.

I’ve been making a bunch of these 11” x 8 1/2” #riso #collages on handmade paper. They’re all for sale: $135 each, domestic shipping included, and I’ll be donating 20% of the purchase price to Doctors Without Borders. Link in bio.

Collaging. ✂️ 📄

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.
