Prints as Portals

This show will explore perspective and point of view (“POV", have you heard the term?) in Japanese woodblock prints. Consider how our perspective affects how we see and interpret our world.


How does looking at art, specifically Japanese woodblock prints of the 19th and 20th centuries, change our perspective?


Life is constantly changing but art, especially 2D art printed from carved wood blocks on archival papers, holds constant. What changes is how we see it.


This exhibit seeks to show woodblock prints that truly function as portals, offering paths into a very different, and perhaps also not so different, world.
