Hands at work. Images of my newest #woodcut and #artistsbook in progress at my Women’s Studio Workshop residency. It feels amazing to be on the Vandercook again.

Artist Jenie Gao printing a photopolymer plate on the Vandercook letterpress at Women’s Studio Workshop.

Jenie has short black hair with a side shave and is wearing a teal tank top with a lime green apron.

Close-up of Jeni’s hands carving a woodcut. The woodcut imagery is of a Formosan Sika Deer and Clouded Leopard in a cyclical prance / chase, with a branch-like pattern in the background.

Close-up of Jenie’s hands stacking an edition of prints from the letterpress. The imagery is in teal ink and of a wood grain-like pattern.

The feed includes a broad range of Asian artists: Palestinian, Cambodian, Bangladeshi, Korean, Pakistani, Filipinx, and more. But I can always do better so tell me if there's representation you don't see so I can update the feed. 🙂

This hot pot is inspired by the hot pot my family used growing up. It was a ceramic one with a little village design all around the sides and I wish my current hot pot was cute 😭 it's just one of the metal split ones.
