I made this print a couple weeks ago for a print exchange. The theme was A House Divided. We were told to make work about the political divide on the left, but thinking of political divisions and the name of the theme, this was what felt right to me. My dad listens to Rush Limbaugh a lot, and I ended up unfollowing everyone on Facebook because my sister-in-law posted a couple things about guns after the shooting in Florida and I went into a suicidal ideation spiral for a couple days. So the relationship with my family and politics is tense. The way the Mormon church champions conservatism does not help. I’m going to give my mom the print on the right, with just the one layer, because it’s something I think she might like for once. (My parents have none of my art hanging in their home, and have never been to any exhibitions with my work.) I feel like I’m setting myself up to be disappointed there, but that’s the plan. Sometimes I feel like love is built on obligation, or the strongest bonds I have are only skin deep. But still, it is nice to be together, despite everything.

2 layer photo litho zine on Rives lightweight paper. Edition of 9.

This zine is “a story about forgetting” but I made it in order to remember, and recognize the feelings that I was left with after being so resented in an emotionally toxic relationship in the past. I hoped it would help me fully forget how it felt to believe I should hate myself because of someone else’s perception.

This was my print for week one of Frogman’s! I did plate lithography with Christopher Wallace, who is rad a.f. His artist talk was among the best I have ever seen, and I learned so much from him, despite having done some photo litho really recently. This piece is called, “I know, I’m sorry. I wish I knew enough to say it would be okay.” It’s two plates printed on brown paper, and it’s about moving on and being scared of the future.
