“Post-Erasures,” a suite of three prints, marks Chieko’s first foray into collaborative printmaking. These pieces are deeply layered, drawing from imagery that spans her childhood diary to references to the Tokyo firebombing campaign that her parents miraculously survived during World War II. An important aspect of Chieko’s practice is the role of chance and randomness. The circles that appear throughout the suite reflect this exploration: a custom randomization code was developed for this project to determine the placement, size, color, and opacity of each circle along a grid. A pale image of ash-covered cheesecloth winds through the compositions, alluding to the material once used to wrap the napalm dropped on Tokyo during the war.
“Post-Erasures I” is an original collaboration published by Multiplied Projects. A pigment-based inkjet print measuring 17 × 13 inches, it was printed using an EPSON Surecolor P700 with Ultrachrome inks. An edition of 14 with 1 AP and 1 PP was signed, dated and numbered by the artist.
