from the press release:<\/em><\/p>\n

‘BAD WATER PLACE’ . . documents the site-specific work of artist STO LEN.<\/p>\n

“Highlighting the relationship between aesthetic beauty and UGLY truth, Sto investigates urban sprawl and the illegal dumping of toxic waste in natural habitats through a series of prints pulled from the actual surface waters, in this book he focuses on NEWTON CREEK, one of the most<\/strong> polluted bodies of water in the U.S. <\/p>\n

Working en plein air from a rowboat, Sto uses an original process he calls ‘Tsunaminagashi’- a mix of traditional suminagashi<\/em> and his own techniques – to print directly off of the water. These works are arresting, psychedelic experiments in marbleized <\/em> texture and design that reveal a dark, tactile truth of urban pollution in our city’s water.<\/p>\n

It is within this context that Sto Len exposes the physical consequences of this abused urban landscape through land art, performance & printmaking as a site of discourse on environmentalism and art<\/strong> activism.”<\/p>\n

‘BAD WATER PLACE’ features photography . . by TRACIE WILLIAMS, R. NICHOLAS KUSZYK, and WALTER WLODARCZYK.<\/p>\n

Full Color, 80 pages, 8.5 x 5.5 in., signed & numbered first edition of 100, 2017
