The Mid-America Print Council Conference
I will have student-created print works installed on the exterior walls of buildings on the campus of Wayne State University during the MAPC conference. Additionally, I will have the same prints installed around the campus of the University of Toledo, thus bridging the two cities and creating one big connected “Print City”.
Students will create large woodblock prints that would be adhered to exterior walls of buildings. These large images will be printed on Japanese Kozo (rice paper). The life span of these murals depends directly on exposure to weather. The paper will be adhered to the chosen site using …

Gross Anatomy: Collaborative Book, Arturo Rodriguez
The Mid-America Print Council Conference
A panel discussion/reflection with several students who participated in a unique creative collaboration between two studio classes: printmaking and drawing. In the fall of 2012, lecturer Ben Pond and I taught Anatomy and Lithography courses respectively. Our students worked collaboratively on a large format (30”x22”), series of prints/drawings based on the theme “Gross Anatomy.” All students first created lithographs and then further embellished them using various drawing techniques. Three complete sets of print/drawings were created as a result of the collaboration, two of which were bound into hard-cover books. Students who participated in the creation of the book will give …

Controlled Chaos; Versatility And Variety Of Mark-Making Within Screenprint, Jennifer Ghormley, Brian Spolans, Nichole Maury
The Mid-America Print Council Conference
Screenprint is highly accessible to artists of all sorts, and has many avenues of expression - fine art, installation art, t-shirts, posters, graffiti, really as many outlets as there are people who produce screenprints. A visible upsurge in the use of screenprint in contemporary printmaking and in the proliferation of new screen-based print shops can be seen as artists use its various processes to create work that is no longer restricted by identifiable style, scale, or dimension. This demonstration represents a range of potential methods in the expressive and flexible nature of the contemporary screenprint process, from hard-edged graphic forms, …

Artificial Nature: Building An Ecological Vision Through Printmaking, Taryn Mcmahon
Artificial Nature: Building An Ecological Vision Through Printmaking, Taryn Mcmahon
The Mid-America Print Council Conference
Abstract:
Printmaking has a natural connection to popular culture and prints have traditionally explored the urgent issues of their respective times. From Jose Posada to Francisco Goya, printmakers have used their medium to bring about political or social change, some explicitly and others more subtly. There is a crop of current printmakers who build upon this history by investigating interactions and connections between the natural world and the built environment, highlighting issues of ecology, technology, and industry. Ecological disasters, natural resource extraction, and the excesses of this current place and time become fodder for their cross-disciplinary artworks. Dürer envisioned the …

The Quilted Print, Hannah M. Sanders, Blake A. Sanders
The Mid-America Print Council Conference
This demonstration utilizes relief printmaking in combination with found, repurposed fabrics and basic machine and hand sewing to create quilted collages. Utilizing old bed sheets and hand-me-down fabrics, hardware store plywood, basic black ink, and green cleanup with vegetable oil and dish soap, fabric printing is both a low-cost and sustainable alternative to paper. Piecing and collaging elements helps to overcome size limitations, opening up the possibilities for ambitious sculptures and immersive print-based installations.
