The World Between the Block and the Paper is currently showing at the Southern Vermont Art Centre in Manchester, Vermont, USA. It was organised by Patty Hudak, a member of our printmaking collective Mokuhanga Sisters.

The show features work by the Mokuhanga Sisters, plus a guest artist we each invited, either a teacher or a student, and also a few local artists connected with us.

I invited my teacher Hidehiko Gotou san to show his prints alongside my own. His are the blue and gold ones shown here. They sold out on the opening day of the exhibition!

The exhibition is also a chance for us to showcase our collaborative project Borderless, co-ordinated by Lucy May Schofield. Borderless is an emakimono, a scroll, made up of prints by each of us.

The eight prints are black and white, mostly printed with sumi ink, and constructed by hand by Lucy. My print Night Garden is shown here at the beginning of the scroll.

Our Wood + Paper + Box collaborative project (with Yoonmi Nam and Katie Baldwin) is also on show, with the flat pieces of our boxed work under glass, and the 3-dimensional pieces on plinths around the room. My double-sided uchiwa fan is shown in the first photo above.

I’m especially happy that this quadtych of tree prints is being shown here - I made them on an artists residency in Vermont years ago, and they are finally being exhibited for the first time, in Vermont!

The show is up until the 27th of March. More information is available here. Hope you can go and see it!
