Feature in Content Magazine 14.4
I was honored to be featured in Content Magazine’s Issue 14.4 “Profiles” this fall. The text, written by David Valdespino, Jr., is the most accurate description of my art practice I have ever encountered. Ronnie Patania‘s photos complement the article showing me at work in the printmaking studio at Santa Clara University. Full article: https://www.content-magazine.com/articles/14-4-kathy-aoki/

Kathy Aoki’s satirical work lives within the cracked veneer of modern society, driven by concept and executed by any medium necessary. The humor on the surface of her pieces attracts viewers like moths to a flame but quickly gives way to profound introspection. ~David Valdespino, Jr.
