An exhibition of wood-block prints by Florence Neal

About

This exhibition is a public art installation about water using water-based woodcut prints. Viewers are invited to answer the question “What is the color of the water of the future?” Their answers are hand printed using the ancient Japanese technique, mokuhanga. This is the first continuation of the 2018 project created in Bahia, Brazil. Along with the installation, the artist will be on-site on December 8 and 15 to hand print responses and demonstrate the mokuhanga technique. Each participant in the project will receive a "waters of the future” button designed by the artist.
