Very pleased and honored to announce that my work is featured alongside a group of stellar international artists in Issue 4 (available now) of Pressing Matters magazine. From the UK this glorious independent publication is a run of 4000 and focuses on all the inky goodness of modern printmaking. My article, The Art of Looking Up walks you through my collagraph process from start to finish. I also speak about how I came to print on the most common of materials, denim. I hope you will take a moment to support Pressing Matters by ordering your copy today. 

It was wonderful to be back in my second studio home at the Grafische Werkplaats, Den Haag today! I spent yesterday completing the carving of my latest collagraph plate. This time I'm tackling some new bridges of the Netherlands! I had photographed this bridge last summer as it was finally unveiled after undergoing extensive preservation. No longer in use, De Hef bridge is a proud landmark in the gorgeous city of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Designed by Pieter Joosting in 1927 it is one of the few vertical lift bridges in the country. It replaced the older bridge that was destroyed by a German steamship. I found a great little silent film entitled, De Brug created by Joris Ivens that shows De Hef in it's glory, if you love old black and white I'm sure you will enjoy it. 

I am honored to be a part of the new [Print]maker Takeover blog on Atelier Indrukwekkend's site today. Take a moment to read all about my latest progress with denim printmaking and sustainability on their blog by clicking their logo. In addition, perhaps you will find an excellent workshop to join or event like the print swap to attend. Located in the heart of Delft, the Atelier is helping keep printmaking alive and well!

It was another wonderful experience teaching printmaking on 30 March 2018 at the Atelier Indrukwekkend in the heart of Delft, Netherlands. We had a great time carving and printing collagraphs on paper, fabric and of course recycled denim! Stay tuned for the next workshops coming soon! Special thanks to Speedball Art for the excellent supplies and The Living for the fabulous vegan lunch!

It was an incredible privilege to visit the opening evening of Ian Berry's most recent project The Secret Garden currently on view at the Children's Museum of Art in NYC until April 2018. The Secret Garden is constructed completely in denim. Read more about the installation on Ian Berry's website here or better yet go see it LIVE!! Glad I could be on the support team of this project.
