Katsutoshi Yuasa’s woodcut prints reveal themselves slowly, as though the wealth of detail contained within them is only just coalescing.

In 2005 Susann Pönisch who lives and works in Berlin, Germany, began to print her drawings in the "Fleischerei", an open screen printing workshop in Berlin-Mitte. Since that time, screen printing has become an important part of the artistic work of Susann. The stencils for the prints are produced by the direct drawing on tracing paper with a variety of materials, such as acrylic, charcoal, ink, gouache and fineliner. There are built, layer by layer, prints from which emerge books, series or unique pieces at the end.
