Hello!

I have been contemplating for a while now about my participation in social media…to be honest I don’t think I’m very good at it for my own sake. But hire me to do it for someone else and I can go viral! Still in shock of the balloon printing video I did for the SVA Printshop, which got over two million views! I digress..

Anxieties over AI and the overall business model changes for meta, has led me to want to post my work less and less on meta platforms. The only one I use is instagram to promote my work and skills.

I have decided for the time being that I will begin to share new projects on this blog. My choice of a blog feels on brand with my profession of printmaking and my shifting values to degrowth. I am too overstimulated and tired of thinking about bending my will to an algorithm, it was never my goal for social media. I’m not saying I will disappear, since it is a way for me to connect with others in my profession, but when it comes to my artwork, it will remain on channels where I own the hard work I make.

Ciao,

Melissa
