Introduction

My name is Sakile Shaw. I'm a highschool student interning at the Galleries at Moore College of Art and Design. From a young age I've been interested in artistic expression (I was raised by artists, I didn't even stand a chance.) Lately I've become more interested in the printed image; how to manipulate it, how it can change a surface, how a surface can change it. Of course,when this internship came up, I jumped at the chance since Moore is one of the venues presenting The Graphic Unconscious, the core exhibition of Philagrafika, Philadelphia's international festival celebrating print in contemporary art. Watching the installations for Philagrafika slowly build themselves out of just ideas is proving to be an awesome experience.
With this blog, you too can follow along on this odyssey of artsy and printastic adventure.
