For this print exchange, Unfolding: Holding a Course, artists were asked to consider how they interpret navigation when it comes to uncertainty, vacillation, variability, fluctuation and loss. Artists were asked to consider what is their “aimer” is while also emphasizing their individual style which they have established within their work.

The primary goal in organizing this print exchange is to broaden the print community’s social network by creating a portfolio exchange where several of the invited printmakers each invite one additional artist. Doing so introduces elements of variance to the exchange, yielding its own unique outcome; a ripple effect all its own. By encouraging participants to invite an additional person, all participants extend their collaborative community and their exposure to unfamiliar places, people, and ways in which artists create prints and exchange information.
