PATinKyoto sample work

A sample work produced for PATinKyoto, the Print Art Triennial centred on Kyoto that surveys contemporary printmaking from Japan and abroad. The piece is realised in screenprint and mixed media, consistent with Osada's standing method of transferring photographic imagery of an everyday object onto a substrate that recalls the source material. As a sample submission rather than an installation work, the print is likely scaled to a single discrete unit suitable for jury review, presenting one instance of the object-image-substrate triangulation she develops at greater length in solo presentations such as Looking Around What's Close at Hand. Its inclusion in a PATinKyoto context places her practice within an international curatorial conversation about the expanded field of the print, where silkscreen and digital processes are evaluated alongside lithography, etching, and woodblock. The work serves as a compact statement of her position: a printmaker trained at Tokyo Geidai who treats the printed image less as a depiction than as a procedural record of contact between photograph and material.
