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.

"An investigation into the aesthetics that arise from anti human design. I am making prints that explore the conventions of authoritarian architecture - benches that deter sleeping, skate stoppers, turnstiles, fences and borders. These elements are designed as part of our everyday spaces, making people who encounter them internalize classism as a given part of our environment."

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.
