The FOOTPRINT biennial at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking is one of the most competitive international juried exhibitions in the world, specific to printmaking. Submitting artists are required to produce work at a scale of 12″ x 12″ utilizing any hand-pulled printmaking process. Johnny Plastini’s work “Exegesis of Transmissions from the Astral Plan” employs a viscosity intaglio etching process from reclaimed zinc printed on handmade paper. Juror Susan Tallman selected Johnny’s print for an Honorable Mention Juror’s Award. Only 4 awards were presented out of 83 exhibiting artists representing 18 countries.
