an intricately patterned, multi-color rug serves as the background for several prints carefully placed just right of center; a brown feather with yellow specks rests next to an orange and yellow print at left, and two netsuke, one green and one yellow, sit on top of two prints at right; a brown and black turtle shell is directly above the two prints at right; a spray of cherry blossoms enters the image frame at right; a brown, black, white, and red bird is perched atop a brown wooden cage in the ULC

German-born Katje Oxman retains childhood memories of a country deeply scarred by war. Her art presents a hermetic world of more serene reverie embodied by natural objects, prints, and postcards of art laid out on the vibrant background of a geometric oriental rug. She produces her luscious images through a painstaking process involving four precisely etched and aquatinted copper plates inked with semi-transparent colors printed in perfect registration.
