IMPACT 11 Conference

I had the privilege of presenting my Cheung Sha Wan HK MTR station public art project at the IMPACT11 Printmaking conference this week. I made a 15 minute video talking about how it was produced and how it looks. It was really interesting to revisit the project after such a long time.

A selection of my work was also shown in the open portfolio section of the conference website. If the conference had gone ahead in HK, I would have been able to show the actual artwork, and let people enjoy the tactility of the prints. As it is, at least you can see images, and read a little about them.

I showed a variety of my more ‘book arts’ style work, where there are folded, cut out, layered or other unusual elements to the pieces. Like this fan I made with some of my mokuhanga prints.

Here is a screenshot of the discussion panel I was in, with Yung Sau-mui from the HK Open Printshop as the moderator. I was nervous about doing the Q&A but I think it went ok!

While watching the presentations, I also sketched the speakers, so I could remember who they were. Here’s a compilation of the sketches…

For a totally virtual conference, I think it went pretty well!

Cheung Sha Wan MTR station

I was doing some web research about Cheung Sha Wan MTR station in HK last week, as I put together a presentation about my project there, and I found an amazing video made by CULTURE magazine, totally by chance.

It was made last year, and it was so nice to see the thoughtful filming and insightful comments. Thanks CULTURE magazine!
