Current Projects
Tricia Johnson currently resides in London, Ontario where she is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Visual Arts at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, teaching Foundations of Visual Arts and Print Media. Her artwork includes both traditional and experimental printmaking alongside her explorations into paper based fibre art.
Her recent intaglio printmaking has been comprised of fast gesture drawings and slow aquatints in two series titled “Etchings as Photographs” and “Photographs as Etchings”. In linocut, she has been collecting images and photographs of supplemental and meaningless objects, that smell of retail, arranging them in compositional balance and carving them as thin lines into linoleum, as a remembrance of her past life as a window dresser. She further investigates paper as fibre by cutting down old prints and braiding them into something new.
