It was a privilege to work as a printer for Artist in Residence, Ho-Wan-Ut “Haila” Old Peter during session 3 (2018) at Pilchuck Glass School. As a traditional Puget Salish basketry weaver and teacher, Old Peter has devoted over twenty years to the art of basketry. Old Peter specializes in cedar and beargrass baskets with a heavy focus on patterns and contrasting colors. She is committed to teaching and preserving basketry for her family and tribal members. It was a unique collaboration as Old Peter had never experienced printmaking prior to her residency at Pilchuck Glass School. We spoke about the best ways to approach printmaking with her existing knowledge and practice of basketry and below are the resulting prints. Old Peter decided to keep some of the prints as she found them hard to part with, and some of the prints were generously donated to the Pilchuck Glass School collection.
The Laminated Print. Origin and Process of Chine Collé
I am very pleased to announce that my work will be showcased in The Laminated Print: Origins + Process of Chine Collé, a collaborative project that brings together contemporary printmakers, conservators, and art historians to inspire visual thinking about the process of chine collé and draw relationships to paper traditions from China and Japan.
My piece entitled "Communion” will be displayed along side prints by Charles Cohan, Duncan Dempster, Deborah Nehmad, and a selection of Chinese and Japanese scrolls and screens from the collection of the John Young Museum of Art. The scrolls and screens were selected and researched by Gary Liu, art historian and specialist in Chinese art, and Hiroko Sakurai, East Asian painting and paper conservator. Conservation workshops by Hiroko Sakurai and demos by chine collé printmakers will be held in conjunction with this exhibition.
