We’re kicking off a new season of Studio Noize with artist and printmaker Rashaun Rucker!

Rashaun recently debuted a new body of print work called Up From the Red Clay at M Contemporary Art in Detroit. In a series of linocut prints, monoprints, and drawings Rashaun prints the stories of his family. Using photographs from his grandma he reveals the layers of history, life, and love that exist in Warrenton, NC. JBarber and Rashaun reminisce about living in rural North Carolina and get into all the printmaking nitty-gritty details.

Episode 108 topics include:

What makes relief printmaking the preferred way to tell these Southern stories

How artists should think about making work

Honoring the people you love in your art

Printing linocut editions at home

Why community is so important in small, rural towns

The payoff in the process of making work
