Tammy Wofsey is a visual artist with a focus in printmaking and book arts. She has established her publishing press and printmaking studio in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx called Plotzing Press. She grew up in Colorado. The horizon of mountains seen from any direction, lack of water due to the desert-like climate, and limited oxygen from high altitudes influenced her interest in our bodies relationship to the natural world which eventually found its way into her studio practice. After graduation, she worked at Bob Blackburn’s Printmaking Workshop, an NYC based community collective for printmakers where she honed her craft and made friends with the same passion. She would describe her visual language as a series of reworked mistakes where imagery is constantly re-imagined and reprinted to create a visual solution. Her printing process always originates from drawings taken from dog-eared spiral sketchbooks.
