Selections from the Collection of Arm and Roller Press

Arm and Roller Press is the collaborative printing arm of Charles Cohan, professor of art at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. As a fine art printer for artists since 1990, Arm and Roller Press has accumulated a diverse collection through the production of numerous projects for various artists. This exhibition highlights approximately 60 prints from artists working in North and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, and provides a glimpse into the global range of traditional printmaking practices of the past 25 years. Intersections Visiting Artist Andrea Dezsö's work is included in this exhibition.

Prints by Jenny Sanzaro-Nishimura

Jenny Sanzaro-Nishimura examines the Australian landscape and the effects of mining from two different perspectives--the physical changes in the landscape predominantly caused by open cut mining and the toxic effects of the chemicals (used in the mining process) and the minerals/materials extracted on both the environment and groundwater systems, especially in the dry, remote inland regions. The exhibition also includes works from a collaboration with Glennys Briggs titled Genocidal Tendencies. Sanzaro-Nishimura has been a printmaker for over twenty years, and lectures in Printmedia at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Australia.
