w+p+b in Petaluma

I recently popped in to see the book arts and printmaking exhibition The Voice in the Hand at Petaluma Arts Centre in downtown Petaluma, California. The exhibition has been curated by Macy Chadwick who runs In Cahoots Residency and our wood + paper + box project Alabama > California > Kansas is on display.

It’s always lovely to see how a curator shows our work, and with everything carefully layed out on a plinth, you can walk 360 degrees round it, and get a real feeling of the whole box and contents as a sculptural piece.

My mokuhanga printed handkerchief piece a charm for California was prominantly shown - I made this at the height of the droughts here, as a sort of prayer for rain - alongside my intaglio printed Meyer Lemon Seeds packet.

The exhibition continues until 4 November, open on fridays and saturdays only. Hope you can make it!
