Mokuhanga Project Space’s mission is to promote and support mokuhanga by exploring new dimensions of the art form in a global context. Artists chosen for this residency showed a willingness to explore, innovate, and push the boundaries of mokuhanga both technically and/or conceptually. The studio space is typically one of Keiko Hara's when not used by MPS, sits right across the street from the beautiful Pioneer Park. In total 4 artists joined us, 3 by application and 1 by invitation. This year’s invited artist was renowned artist and printmaker April Vollmer.
SUMMER PROJECT RESIDENCY - July 10 - July 18, 2023
Florence Neal
Wood to Water: Resurfacing
"Wood to Water: Resurfacing" explored the elements of water and trees through the medium of water-based woodblock prints, giving voice to immediate environmental concerns. From nature to art, water to wood, wood to paper, Florence worked on-site at Walla Walla's Pioneer Park arboretum to produce a set of mokuhanga prints stemming from selected trees. Water and wood, both the theme and medium of this project, continually interchanged during the creation process, resonating in the final prints.
