Pleased to share PrintCamp 2018 (June 2 - 10) at Printmakers Open Forum participant info - In alphabetical order by last name...Next up Jennifer Manzella Website: http://www.jlmanzella.net/ On her work: Working mainly in print media and drawing, I create artwork that recalls landscape tied in with the idea of place, home and shelter. These images are often constructions from actual places in my past travels as well as found images that have been transformed through various drawing and printmaking processes. What she will be doing at PrintCamp: Lately I’ve been more interested in layering imagery I’ve been using transparent base in my relief inks with multiple block processes and monoprints. What I’m really interested in working on at Print Camp is learning how to better integrate a few processes into a single series. For Print Camp my focus wouldbe about combining relief, screen printing and possibly a litho process. I’m very comfortable in relief and screen printing at this point butit would be great to add a process such as lithography. I have a lot of experience as an artist and an educator, I’ve been teaching printmaking, foundations and drawing classes for over 10 years so I have plenty of experience but I’m really eager to learn from others. I’ve done a few residencies (Haystack) in the past and worked out of other professional print studios (Lower East Side Print Shop, Zea Mays) and I always learn so much when I work closely with other artists in these intensive settings. I am really good at working around others and enjoy the communal environment of printmaking studios. Plus I really like camping! Skill Share Presentation at PrintCamp: I would love to share an on-going project that I’ve been working on for the past year. Currently I’m working on a series of tiny copper etchings that are influenced by abandoned and empty building lots in the city of Philadelphia. The city has changed drastically since I had lived here fifteen years ago. I’ve been observing how the influx of people moving from other places along with the real estate market has shifted the poverty line in an ever-changing game of gentrification. My interest lies in recording this shift. Some of these lots have been cared for and have become green spaces within these marginal neighborhoods while other lots are representative of years of neglect. My plan is to create 100 of these small etchings inspired by an exhibition of small Rembrandt etchings I saw a few years ago at the Georgia Museum of Art. I could discuss my process and technique behind this series.
