We’re just two weeks away from the New England Art We’re just two weeks away from the New England Art Book Fair @newenglandartbookfair, and we’re stoked to bring our publications to Maine for the first time📚💫

Come say hi to our Collections Manager @faythelevine at the fair held at SPACE Gallery @space538! If you have questions about our programming and opportunities, it’s the perfect opportunity to ask in person, and we’ll have some of our newer publications for you to check out, including the recently released “WET Vol. 2” by Meg Turner @megprinter, and a beautiful mock-up of the soon-to-be-released “The Pause Apothecary” by Macon Reed @macon_reed_studio. See ya soon, Portland, Maine!

🚨Psst… We’ll have a limited number of catalogs from our 50th anniversary exhibition for sale in person for a special fair price of $10!

Let’s take a moment to meet the artists of our upc Let’s take a moment to meet the artists of our upcoming exhibition, “Inventory,” featuring work by WSW’s Studio Interns Ruth Marks @rruffie, Daniella Porras @_daniella_porras_, and Heidi Tejeda Mata @tt.dey. Mark your calendars for the opening reception on August 28th!

Daniella Porras-Sholes is a multidisciplinary artist who creates sculptures and prints exploring her need to desperately hold onto memories and spaces before they inevitably vanish. By using handmade overbeaten paper to print on while it is wet or to cast over found objects, she attempts to capture a moment using materials that repel the very act of control. The paper decides what details get carried into the final piece, making her confront her own inability to keep something the same. Paper holds memory, but it is malleable, echoing how humans remember. This uncontrollable process of papermaking distorts, shrivels and pulls away, mimicking in a physical form how fickle memory is. By taking objects or photos from her own environment, she creates site-specific work, painstakingly adhering the paper to an object that attempts to do what will never be possible: replicate a moment in time.

Ruth Marks is a printmaker and illustrator whose work reveals how people across time and space are entangled and connected. She uses scenes of everyday life to show how things slowly change over time. She believes that these inevitabilities of change, both small and drastic, are what unite people together. A person is composed of layers of history, human connection, and memories. They are an amalgamation of the past, present, and future. So is a print!
