Spudnik Press is very pleased to announce Ali Aschman as our Spring 2014 Artist in Residence.

Ali’s work takes place in a variety of disciplines, including sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and animation, often combined in installations. Ali has most recently been working on creating narrative animations that focus on landscape as metaphor for an inner emotional state. “I’m trying” Ali says “to make work that occupies an uncomfortable space between immersion in an imaginary world, and an awareness of the constructed and artificial nature of that world, through my use of materials and building techniques, lighting and scale.” For her project at Spudnik press, Ali has proposed to work on a portfolio of woodcuts and screenprints that will be used to create a 3 to 5 minute stop-motion animation.

Our Residency Program is proud to host Ali at Spudnik Press Cooperative March 1 through May 31, 2014.
