Artist & Animator
Upcoming Class at Spudnik Press
April 6 | Riso Animation (4 Weeks)
Discover the unique world of Risograph printing and animation in this hands-on four-week course. Beginning with the fundamentals of the Risograph machine, you will progress through a complete animation workflow — learning not just how to print, but how to bring your prints to life.
Using Spectrolite, an intuitive software designed for Riso printing, you will create standalone prints, explore layering techniques, and develop a foundation for animation. From there, you will learn how to scan and composite your work in Photoshop, building toward a finished animated GIF and a short Riso animation to take home.
You will leave the course with prints, contact sheets, and a collection of digital material to continue experimenting with long after the final session. With the Risograph, practice and experimentation are at the heart of every unique result.

Previous Exhibition
Meditation on Creation and Destruction: Anxiety of a Shared resource
A solo art exhibition installed and curated by Alex Hohnsen. The exhibition considers the human dynamic that deliberate destruction proceeds creation in art, monuments, cultures, languages, etc. which is seen throughout human history. The reflection on a shared resource stems from an internal conversation of waste and responsibility on a personal level.
Over the next three weeks I will be working during the week and adding to the exhibition each weekend. The show will include paper murals, monoprints, risographs, and animations.
