Two of my designs have been chosen as murals for the City of Burlingame’s storm drains - they will be amongst a selection of murals that will raise awareness that storm water is not treated, and that everything that goes into the drains will wash out into the San Francisco Bay.

EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DECEMBER 11, 2021 – MARCH 27, 2022
A MOKUHANGA EXHIBITION OF ARTISTS AND TEACHERS PRESENTED BY THE SOUTHERN VERMONT ARTS CENTER AND THE MOKUHANGA SISTERS
The Mokuhanga Sisters, a print collective, met at the Mokuhanga Innovation Laboratory, in the shadow of Mt Fuji, Japan, and bonded through their practice of mokuhanga.
In this exhibition, the Mokuhanga Sisters invited teachers and friends to demonstrate the versatility of this ecologically-sound medium. Although it is possible to create a print after a one-day workshop, mastering this art form takes many hours of practice. In that way, everyone who practices mokuhanga has needed at least one teacher.
The World Between the Block and the Paper will be on view in Yester House simultaneously with Hiroshige and the Changing Japanese Landscape in the Wilson Museum. We invite the viewer to notice the techniques in both exhibitions and to compare how the tradition of mokuhanga has continued as well as how it has been updated. The goal is to create a conversation around this medium and to realize its full potential for artistic expression by dialoguing with its history.

Katie Baldwin invites Chihiro Taki
