In this 3 part series, we hear from a resident artist at Crow’s Shadow Institute to recount the beauty and incentives of a program that facilitates the art of print.

In a Native American reservation in Oregon, a small group of printers and curators make original works of collaborative printing. As a resident printer, Yoonhee Choi explains how she learns new techniques, explores environmental design, and makes her art in a newfound skill in print.

About the speaker

Educated as a city planner, an architect, and an artist, Yoonhee Choi creates work that explores the potentials of unexpected materials and varied processes to express both multiple scales of spatial experience and intimate, personal associations. In her projects, which range from tiny collages to drawings on paper to room-size installations, she uses everyday materials in an improvisational manner to search for limits and possibilities, seeking to discover new compositional devices and structures. Her explorations seek to deepen her sensitivity to her surroundings and her art is the record of her perception. Choi studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, architecture at Yale University, and city planning at Hong-ik University in Seoul. Born and raised in South Korea, she currently lives in Portland, Oregon.
