Hoofprint Workshop's "Woodcut Challenge"

10/22/2015

0 Comments

 
My roadtrip has been on a bit of a temporary hiatus for the past few weeks because I have been offered a spot in an upcoming exhibition showcasing large-scale woodcut prints at Hoofprint Workshop. I had visited the studio a few weeks ago during my first stop in Chicago and learned about this exhibition they were organizing. When they asked if I would like to be a part of the show I immediately said yes, and began planning a new 40x60 inch woodcut. For the past two weeks I've been hanging out at the studio and spending about 12 hours there every single day drawing, carving, proofing, printing and helping Gabe Hoare and Liz Born get ready for Pilsen Open Studios this weekend when the show opening will be. They have become like a second family to me in Chicago. We've eaten lunch and dinner together almost every day, stayed up until 3am printing, and I got to meet many other fellow artists, printmakers, and gallerists in the Pilsen neighborhood and even helped carve a new John Himmelfarb woodcut! It has been an incredible experience and I am so excited for everyone to see the end result. Gabe, Liz, fellow Hoofprint artist Raeleen Kao, and I have been working hard every day to make this one of Hoofprint's best show's yet and I don't think you will be disappointed. So if you are in the Chicago area this Saturday, please join us for the opening at Hoofprint Workshop: 2433 South Oakley Avenue, Chicago, IL. I guarantee it will be an amazing night with tons of huge woodcuts and great company.
