SGCI Printmaking Conference 2014 (Part 2)

The first day of the conference was focused around two sites, San Francisco State University and City College of San Francisco. I was excited to see a demonstration of flying printed kites at SFSU, having made a kite for the Mokuhanga Conference in Kyoto in 2011, but the event hadn't really gotten going yet when I was there and there wasn't much wind, so I continued on.

The exhibition I most loved at SFSU was one called Progressive Proof: Innovative Prints from the Pacific Rim, which featured dimensional work by nine women artists. Here are some shots from that show.

Double Happiness by Imin Yeh, Custom sawdust/paper fiber composite boards, ink, paper

Weight of Being by Hyeyoung Shin, digital prints and Gampi paper feet casts.

I love the sheen of the Gampi. The human body as print matrix.

Feminist Essay by Emily Floyd, medium density fiberboard (mdf) letters.

Portrait of Eve Clone by Pey Chwen Lin, hologram prints.
