This edition bridges print media with textile processes, exploring their shared qualities and complementary natures. It examines print media's ability to produce multiples alongside practices that create connections between materials. Beyond their sculptural qualities, these physical interventions hold symbolic significance, as they have the ability to link and mend different memories and moments in time.

Each image in this edition depicts a landscape seen through a car window, which is printed, cut, and sewn back together to create a dual-sided piece with a distinct front and back. Inspired by the slow processes of film animation, these works aim to evoke a similar effect, animating each moment to capture the passing of time while presenting a tangible, double-sided object. By reimagining the image through sewing and repetition, the work conveys both the rhythm of movement and the physicality of memory.

The techniques employed blend digital and tactile analog processes, through actions that include photographing, printing, organizing, creating patterns, and sewing; a sequence that fosters iterative art with transformative potential. This interplay between fast-moving imagery and the deliberate, slow action of assembling each piece frame by frame creates a dialogue between slow processes and the aesthetics of hyper-speed technologies.

Levana Katz is an interdisciplinary artist based in Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyang (Montreal). Driven by her interest in material processes, she works between drawing, printmaking and fibre arts. Katz links her visual references through techniques that bind disparate elements, such as sewing, collage and installation. By combining these processes, she situates her memories from various points in time into tactile objects and images.

Katz received her BFA in Painting and Drawing at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. She has shown her work in several galleries in Montreal, including Arprim, Ada X and the Fofa Gallery. In 2024, Katz moved to St. John’s, Newfoundland to pursue the Don Wright Scholarship at St. Michael’s Printshop. As the recipient of the prix Albert Dumouchel 2023 she was granted a residency at L’imprimerie, which she will complete upon returning to Montréal in 2025.
