Risa Sano works in a medium of drawing, printing and collage. She is interested in creating compositions by organising shapes, lines and colours.
Recent group of work, Cut Shapes, are collages in various sizes created with scrap prints and found paper. Sano handprints her woodblock and monoprints at her South East London studio, where she shares the wood workshop with her furniture designer partner and runs a design and making studio together.
In the process, accumulated misprints and tests, as well as play created while tidying up the inking plate become ingredients for something else. These prints often already have defined shapes, or patterns. She uses these ‘seconds’ to compose a new pattern, or a new shape, playing with contrast between clean cut lines and often rough, structural texture of prints. Picture frame was made and mounted by the artist herself.
Sano has self published a small group of works in a publication Cut Shapes during the 2020 as a lockdown project, while working from home using scrap prints. She also sold original prints using the Artist Support Pledges campaign.
