Hear from Katie Baldwin, Mariko Jesse, and Yoonmi Nam who are the artists behind the collective called wood+paper+box. They are also the creators of this year’s Gift Print and the focus of the exhibition wood+paper+box in your hands, on view at the Beach Museum of Art, October 3, 2023 – April 6, 2024.
Baldwin, Jesse and Nam met at an artist residency in Japan in 2004, where they studied mokuhanga, the traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking technique. Artworks by wood+paper+box carry the spark born of shared experience and are created through collaboration, interaction, and friendship. They offer the idea of appreciating art not just by looking but also by touching and participating.
In the exhibition, visitors can handle and interact with the sample gift print by the artist collective, Mise-en-Scène. The gift print is available to the public for purchase. Friends of the Beach Museum of Art at any level receive a 25% discount on the price. For more information about becoming a Friend or purchasing a gift print, please call 785-532-7718 or email beachart@ksu.edu.
