A short write-up in the current issue of “MUSEUM” magazine regarding the exhibition at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.
““Fishing with Paper and Ink” features prints of West Coast fish and other marine life in the Japanese Gyotaku tradition from two nature-printing artists—Eric Hochberg and Dwight Hwang. The objective of nature printing is to express the essence of nature through the medium of paper or cloth and ink. Each plant or animal has its own unique texture, shape and energy, and by isolating the subject in the negative space on a sheet of paper, this signature can be identified.”
