Biobay Crankie by Jessica White
“This is a hand-printed scroll housed in a wooden box with a hand-cranking mechanism, all individually made.
This crankie is about kayaking through Biobay in Puerto Rico, where bioluminescent bacteria glow as you make your way through the mangrove forest into the open bay. They speckled as small dots and made me feel like I could hold the stars.
Linoleum cut printed on Japanese Kozo paper, printed in an edition of 30. The text is letterpress printed from metal type.” - Jessica White

Jessica C. White (she/her) grew up in Taiwan where she learned to love storybooks and traditional crafts, and is now a studio artist and educator in Asheville, NC, where she makes prints and artist books. Her practice revolves around narrative relief prints, wood engravings, letterpress printing, and crankies. She draws inspiration from music, folk tales, ghost stories, children’s books, and the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains. Fancy degrees she holds include a BFA in Sculpture from East Carolina University, a Graduate Certificate in Book Arts, an MA, and MFA in Printmaking from the University of Iowa. When she's not getting inky in the studio, you can find her catching a breeze in her sailboat Cassiopeia.
