This series of solo exhibitions feature work by advanced Printmedia students at California College of the Arts. Their works span the magic of copper etching, lithography, and expressive monoprint to delicate works on handmade paper and fabric. Through sustained explorations of media, each artist has developed narrative and conceptual threads in their work.

"My body of work consists of intaglio etchings. The prints are made from copper plates etched with both traditional and experimental mark-making techniques. Copper is a reactive and sensitive metal - it’s very soft, and takes on information easily. I see copper as an analogue and matter-fact recording device. A print tells the story of the information that is held within the plate."

Printmedia resumes our tradition of student exhibitions in our new RayKo “Artist Proof” print gallery space and we welcome the CCA community to visit. Please check hours on Portal, and on arrival ring the doorbell for access to the space.
