Risograph Prints

At the SVA Risograph Lab, I gained hands-on experience in the interdisciplinary processes of printing, publishing, and producing Risograph-based printed works. This class enhanced my technical skills in printmaking and my understanding of design workflow

Mini Skirts Make Money

This project was born from my desire to make my drawings move. I sourced archival videos and began building a voice and narrative from the footage. The raw nature of all these techniques coming together was something that I had to accept and lean into the grittiness that comes through.

I did a week-long printmaking residency at Taller Experimental de Gráfica in Havana, Cuba. I learned stone lithography and lino-cut techniques under the guidance of Taller artists and Gunars Prande (MFA 1993 Fine Arts), an SVA faculty member and director of operations for printmaking. The Taller was opened after the Cuban Revolution in the early 1960s under the directive of Che Guevara as minister of industry and has been the country’s preeminent studio ever since. Cuba’s distinct printmaking history dates back even further: it was the first place in the Americas to receive and adopt stone lithography in the early 19th century. (The process was adopted from Europe to help create indicators of authenticity, like seals, rings, and trademark decorations for the country’s well-known export, cigars.) The Taller maintains old lithography stones and a German hand-operated press from the early 1800s.
