This series of risographs by Yuchen Chang were produced during a printmaking residency Chang undertook at BANANAFISH books, Shanghai in 2018. The prints, made by flattening textile upon paper, were inspired by gravity’s effects on the elements and recall the common practice of air drying laundry that can be seen suspended above the streets of Shanghai. They were shown at BANANAFISH at the close of her residency in a solo exhibition titled Service is Intangible by Nature, which explored the embodied relationship between text and textile, and the systems by which we attribute value to mundane materials and objects. The prints were also included in Gift Land, a curated exhibition of artist-made-gifts, shown in December 2019 at Printed Matter, New York.
