This is a little gem. An inspiring video interview with one of my favourite artists, Amy Rice.
Amy sent this little email gift to me today and I just had to share. There are several aspects that she (and now, I) thought you would really appreciate; a description and demonstration of a Gocco printer, terrariums, hand-cut stencils, antique paper collecting as well as awesome interior shots of her working studio in the California Building , a former grain mill turned studio building for working artists in NE Minneapolis.
Amy was featured in the latest episode of Minnesota Original: a new weekly series produced by Twin Cities Public Television.

Amy, you're such a beautiful person! On the inside and the outside. I felt a connection to you while watching this little film. I think we would have so much to talk about :)
Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you all the best in the New Year!

Thank you for sharing this! Such a happy and hopeful vision of art and creation for the year to come. She was so open about her work which seems rare - would love to see more videos like this from various artists!
i love her method! the box of letters that she incorporates into her art, amazing. everything is so lovely, sentimental and dreamy. i've never seen anything like the Gocco screen printer machine she uses, it's results are astonishing.

Thanks Conny! I hope Amy see's all these lovely comments!
Thank you for showing this interview.
I felt that the way of Amy Rice is like something between printmaking and sculpturing.
I like her way very much!
Kirigami might be close to her way.

And in the video Printgokko(screen printing machine) was so nice for me.

I was using it to make a new year card with my father since 5 years old for about 10 years in Japan.
It reminds me of my childhood in this season!
