The PAPER BOATS Portfolio was a call for artists to create a unique print for a portfolio that would participate in future traveling installations and collaborations, including the upcoming installations in Puerto Rico and Venice Italy, two destinations well known for their specific island culture. The participating artists were asked to explore the symbolic theme of water and by extension, how water and a little paper boat, could symbolize our human interactions and relationship with water and perhaps the world. Water has historically presented an exciting subject for printmaking artists to interpret and the fragility of the folded paper boats creates another interpretation of the subject, as a symbol of resourcefulness, creativity and resilience. “Paper Boats” is a unique collaborative project presented here as both a portfolio of flat prints and a portfolio of the resulting folded “boats”. The 20 artists selected for the portfolio come from all over the United States and include one artist living on the island of Guam and an artist living in China. The Los Angeles Printmaking Society sponsored the Paper Boats Portfolio for the Southern Graphics Conference International (SGCI) and both portfolios will be participating in the 2023 conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Portfolios will be on view at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy during the Venice Biennale in May, 2022.
