Last week, we hosted artist and journalist Melissa Stern at our Risograph studio at Industry City, Brooklyn. She learned how risographs function, and what kind of results she could expect as an artist. Melissa has worked in sculpture, photography and drawing for over twenty years, and now she wants to offer Risograph prints at her upcoming show at Garvey | Simon Gallery in NYC. We can not wait to print them for Melissa Stern in the upcoming weeks.
You can check out Melissa Stern’s work on her website at http://melissa-stern.com/ or on her Instagram page at @melissa.stern.

From Melissa Stern’s bio from her website:
“I work like a handyman cobbling together drawings and sculptures from elements found, borrowed, and imagined. I use a wide range of materials from encaustic to clay, pastel to steel. The drawings and sculptures, often made in tandem, resonate with one another, the ideas in one reinforcing the themes of the other. All of my pieces share a thematic thread. Childlike and goofy my figures live in a dream world, cower in relationships or stand tall in the face of adversity. They are at once dark and funny, expressive of the absurd world around them.”
Stern serves as a contributing writer for Hyperallergic, the Brooklyn-based digital arts publication, working at the intersection of the arts, culture, and politics. She has covered major exhibitions on assignment throughout the world. She served earlier as the principle art critic for The New York Press. She is a past Board Director of The Children’s Museum of the Arts in NYC, Watershed Center in Maine and a contributing curator of the Human Rights Film Festival from 2008-2015.
