Jamie Kruse

Jamie Kruse is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY and Belfast, ME working in printmaking, photography and performative research. Her portfolio for Saatchi features limited edition Risograph prints. Riso’s vivid blasts of color and tactile, imperfect nature, suits the aesthetic of the material world that Jamie aims to convey through her work. She consideres each print to be an image-sensation in lively co-existence with a constantly changing and materially evolving planet.

Inspired by both ancient and contemporary observations of Earth’s time and place in the cosmos, her work explores the planet’s ever-transforming events and conditions. Through acts of slow observation, her framings of landscape and environment include geologic time and geo-cosmo frames of reference. Risograph technology conveys the tactile and the physical through both process and form. In addition to its relatively small environmental footprint and ability to be easily shared among many people across geographic distances.
