Private
Community printshops often exist in a realm somewhere between the private and public spheres, accessible to those who make prints and mysterious to those who don’t. An artistic practice in printmaking is rarely private and generally relies on some sort of collaboration or communal resources. Prints are often made in bustling shared studio environments. Artists pour their private selves into their artwork and the public nature of print distributes these multiples far and wide for all to see. In this issue of SNAPline, read about featured artist Emmanuel Osahor’s practice and enjoy the 3 beautiful cover prints created for this edition.
