I’m a Japanese-American printmaker living and producing art in Oaxaca, Mexico since 2011. I pulled my first print in 1999 at the University of Puget Sound and continued with print arts in Seattle. During shelter in place, I’ve been in Portland, Oregon since mid-March with no access to the plethora of presses, collectives and printmaking studios that I collaborate with in Oaxaca. So I’ve been printing woodcuts and linocuts with washi, baren, wooden spoon and brayer in the bedroom.
Here are some photos taken in February and March 2020 in Oaxaca, where I etched three copper plates at Producción Gráfica Zanate and printed a lithograph edition with Taller de Artes Gráficas Oaxaca.
My May 7th individual show at Azuma Gallery in Seattle has been postponed to next year due to COVID-19, but my artwork available by mail order can be seen at yoshinakagawa.com
Happy printing!
