HUNTER.

My feet are killing me. This past week I’ve been super busy printing for the Liminal Show which will open as a part of March Gallery Stroll on the 19th at Kayo Gallery. My friend Claire Taylor‘s sister Camilla is curating. Both have talent coming out the wazoo! Seriously. I’m in awe of both of their work. I’m excited I got asked to do this; it’s my first time showing in SLC. I haven’t printed for a show in a very long time. Not since graduation really. Everything else has been assignments or experimenting. Nothing I would claim fine art (although I do have exciting news about my teabags, but I can’t say yet!).

I’m starting a series of 6×6 prints of the Origin of Sign Language words where a figure will sign a word and then I add the imagery of that word to show why it’s signed that way. I chose the word “hunter” for obvious reasons (if you know me, can you guess the next sign?). Future prints in this series will tell a story about my vegetarianism. Not sure if I want to share more details or not….I think I might just be a tease and let you all wait until I have more words printed up. I’m really excited for this series because I’ve been wanting to add sign language in my work but didn’t exactly know how without it meaning more than just sign language. This series is extremely personal. One of the four figures will be a self-portrait. I’m saying too much. Here’s a sneak peak of one out of 2 prints of the word “Hunter.” Yeah, I did 2 for the show. One reason being I didn’t want to split the two apart and the second reason being maybe it will make up for what I fear I am lacking.

Printed on Butcher Blue French Paper 80 lb. Cover.
