episode forty-nine | miriam

In this episode Miranda speaks with MIRIAM. She is a Spanish artist who, through her study of textiles, received an invitation to visit India and learn traditional woodblock carving from artists who have been practicing the craft going back generations. She now travels the world with her woodblocks, using them as stencils for her hand-poked tattoo practice as well as her textile arts. We’ll talk about travel, adornment, the similarities between fabric and skin, the surprising historical and contemporary connections between printmaking and tattoo, and the relationship we have to our finite bodies.
