Kim
Morski
Recognized for her work in printmaking, book arts, and socially engaged community arts projects, Kim Morski was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri and is now based in Denver. Printmaking provides a conceptual and material framework for Morski’s wider artistic practice; the medium has a traditional link to political commentary and protest. The Blizzard series consists of 22 collagraph monoprints in which visual information is obscured by means of accumulation, redaction, and cover up. For the body of work, Morski made five plates and printed them in various iterations of color and order, along with hand-drawn marks and collage. The title of the series is a reference to “blizzarding,” a term for a tactic used by government officials to frustrate public inquiry, wherein a “blizzard” of documents is sent in response to Freedom of Information Act requests, making the requested information difficult to discern.
