An Interview with Phoebe Beard
“ The edition process is an opportunity to share ideas with people outside the art community, distributing booklets and brochures that allow me to engage with social and political narratives.”
An Interview with Stephanie Van Riet

Reaction and Redaction: An Inquiry into Kate McQuillen’s Unique Approach to Painting and Print
“I sought out a method that allows me to use techniques and markmaking of print, but the approach of a painter.”
An Interview with Isabel Wilkinson
“I started to realize the possibilities of print as a way of communicating not just graphic information but more nebulous ideas too.”

“I like the mediation of the squeegee, and the way that it flattens, unifies, and simplifies…It removes me somewhat as the creator of the image, which feels like a good thing.”

An Interview with Yesuk Seo
“I wanted a material that somehow related to my theme of invisible memory, and a material that could occupy architectural spaces with subtle illusions drawn from Eastern and Western cultures.”
