About this work
Built in screenprint and risograph on cotton rag, Paper Current No. 8 extends Paper Current's interest in the quiet labor of pulling ink through mesh. The surface is deliberately layered, allowing shifts in color and edge to stay visible rather than resolving into a polished finish.
About the artist
Paper Current
Houston, TX
Aisha Rahman prints under the name Paper Current, building layered editions that combine architectural fragments, hand-cut stencils, and offset color fields. Her work began in community print shops and still carries the urgency and texture of shared production spaces.
Artist statement
Printmaking lets me preserve the evidence of process. I like when a work still shows its registrations, its slips, and the decisions that happened between one layer and the next.
