This year, 39 printmakers working in a variety of methods, including lithography, relief, intaglio, screenprinting, monotype and polymergravure present their gods. Artists like Anda Tanaka often times draws on her childhood memories growing up in Iowa, while Soren Carlson-Donohoe often times juxtaposes familiar imagery from American advertising with things like the clouds from Super Mario.
