episode sixty | raking light projects
In this episodeMiranda speaks with Andrew Fingerhut. Andrew is co-founder of Raking Light Projects, an initiative which pairs tattoo artists with master printers around the world to create editions of an artistic practice usually found on skin rather than paper. Their aim is to bridge the creative values of tattooing, traditional printmaking and fine art. We talk about building a business which connects strangers, the historical links between Japanese woodblock and tattoo traditions, and why is it that printmakers love tattoos so very much.
