TRANSLATION AS DEFORMATION
On view November 5 - January 15
@ Dieu Donné
We are thrilled to announce two exhibitions featuring handmade paper works made by Alejandra Arias Sevilla: Borderings at Print Center New York and Translation as deformation at Dieu Donné.
Both exhibitions includes a selection of handmade paper works made during her 2024 Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellowship that are based on shadows of window grates and are grounded in the artist’s ongoing exploration of shadows, translucency, translation, and the color blue.

Through research and experimentation, the fellow develops custom papers for different printing methods and explores creative techniques in the papermaking process to enhance imagery.
