Issue 37 Artists Announced!!
We are excited to announce the featured and contributing artists for Issue 37! We have three great features for you in this issue. Scroll all the way down to see the complete list of contributing artists.
Our first feature is with Baltimore-area printmaker, LaToya Hobbs. LaToya is in the middle of a hot streak! She recently exhibited at the Baltimore Museum of Art and won the 2020 Janet and Walter Sondheim Artscape Prize, among many other things. LaToya’s work, “deals with figurative imagery that addresses the ideas of beauty, cultural identity, and womanhood as they relate to women of the African Diaspora.” We spoke to her about this aspect of her work and many other things.
Our second featured interview is with curator and photographer, Nai Kong, who is based in Suzhou, China. Nai has been working with us for a year or more in an effort to showcase more artists from China. She was co-curator of a very well-received exhibition of alternative process photography at the 2021 Lishui Photography Festival, in Lishui, China. Nai is also the go-to translator for photographic publications to be translated into Mandarin. She has translated the George Eastman House’s video series on photographic history, “The Carbon Printing Process”, by Sandy King and John Lockhart, and, “Calibration for Alternative Photographic Processes”, by Calvin Grier. We got a chance to talk with Nai about her own work as well as some of her curatorial projects.
Our third feature is with Los Angeles-based printmaker, Mary Sherwood Brock. Mary is a fantastic print and book artist, as well as the Exhibitions Director at the Los Angeles Printmaking Society. We corresponded with Mary while she was in Venice, Italy working on two collaborative projects regarding immigration. We discuss those projects, as well as her own working process, and her involvement with the Los Angeles Printmaking Society.
The cover image, a collage with acrylic paint titled, Candle Burning, is by Lenox, Massachusetts-based artist, Judy Fox.
We are expecting to release the magazine (and by “release”, we mean “put it in the mail”) by July 10th. Thanks to everyone who submitted. You always make editing really difficult, competitive, and a lot of fun. It’s a great challenge and we appreciate every submission. Remember, that if you submitted, you will get a copy of the magazine whether your work is printed or not. Extra copies for subscribers and pre-orders for readers are available at the button below.
