Printmaking Residency at Sitka Center

In late October, I was invited to spend two weeks at the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology, working in collaboration with master printer Julia D'Amario on a series of etchings. A truly amazing experience! Images above show our test-print wall, and various stages of processing. Jordan Schnitzer Printmaking Residency at Sitka Center

Caldera

An artists' residency on a beautiful expanse of land outside of Sisters, Oregon. As one of six artists-in-residence for the month of March I had a large private studio, a cozy a-frame cabin to live in, and plenty of time for hikes in the woods and around the lakes. The experience was both restful and productive.

In The Dark At Sea: an exhibition of work in progress

 

During my residency at Em Space I worked on three projects:

—a 30-foot drawing made with large loosely threaded stitches on Japanese paper

—two window installations constructed from screen-printed sheets of kozo and black glassine, featuring illustrated images of rope sections

—a series of text-based pieces made with a variety of transfer papers (such as carbon paper, and graphite and white transfer paper). This series is a mediation on language—and euphemism in particular—that describes intense or disorienting emotional experience.

All works are on view at Em Space Book Arts Center
