Drift Artwork

Drift is a unique, ready-to-hang work on paper created in 2022 that combines both woodcut and collagraph print techniques with stenciling. To create the collagraph plate, Orpilla creates weavings and takes prints from the weavings. This piece comes framed by the artist's studio with a natural-colored, contemporary frame (UV plexiglass). About the artist: Orpilla is a visual artist who uses an interdisciplinary process to create paintings, prints, and textiles. By combining materials, Orpilla draws relationships between systems that are materially or metaphorically interdependent. Recently, her works on paper explore printmaking as both a textual and visual language. She completed a research fellowship at the Beinecke Library in 2022 and in 2023, she was an artist resident at the Museum of Arts of Design where she developed her works on paper using a four-heddle floor loom. She has had recent exhibitions at Visitor Center (Newburgh, NY) and Jeffrey Deitch (New York, NY). She is a spring 2024 Fields of the Future Fellow at Bard Graduate Center.
