Pressing Matters #35

Pressing Matters #35 explores the power of printmaking — its ability to move us, communicate ideas, evoke emotion and inspire action.

This issue looks at artists who use print not simply as a creative medium, but as a way of engaging with the world around them. The stories range from the love, hope and justice found in the socially engaged work of printmaking pioneer Corita Kent to the humorous and emotionally charged prints of Wuon-Gean Ho.

The featured artists are a thoughtful and diverse group of deep thinkers, each finding their own way to use art to create change. For some, that means working within communities; for others, sharing knowledge and experience; and for others still, finding power in the simple act of putting ink to paper.

A thoughtful exploration of printmaking, art, activism and creative expression, Pressing Matters #35 celebrates the ability of art to affect how we think, feel and act.
