Heart Mountain, 2022, screenprint, 22 x 28 inches, edition of 10
WISH YOU WERE HERE
WISH YOU WERE HERE is a suite of screenprints inspired by WPA (Works Progress Administration) posters. Instead of highlighting National Parks or tourist destinations in the United States, these prints are based on Japanese American incarceration sites. The prints are accompanied by a run of letterpress postcards and a penny press offering souvenir takeaways.
WISH YOU WERE HERE is supported by Interlace Grant Fund’s 2021 Project Grants for Providence-area visual artists. Interlace is co-administered by Dirt Palace Public Projects and Providence College Galleries with underwriting from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Learn more at interlacefund.org.
Initially shown at Cade Tompkins Projects in summer of 2021 and Print Center New York summer 2022 as part of the inaugural New Voices cohort.
