Juror: Ericka Walker
Walker is noted for using traditional and digital printmaking tools and techniques to design and print large-scale contemporary lithographs that emulate turn of the century propaganda posters. In his juror's statement for the Southern Printmaking Biennale V exhibition catalog, Matthew Rebholz asserted that her work reflects contentious U.S. foreign policy issues and the implications of endless occupation, while other critics have pointed to Walker's use of as a means of highlighting persistent domestic relationships between industry, agriculture, and mechanized warfare. In an exhibition review of Walker's work at Slugfest Gallery in Austin, TX, USA, critic Jason Urban suggests that, as opposed to clarifying any particular issues-based political agenda, the dystopic content of Walker's work instead extolls propaganda for its own sake, and critic Arthur Nodens similarly asserts that "Political stances or calls to action are elusive," and that Walker instead "appears more interested in [an] interaction with the tradition of nostalgic falsehoods, rallying points in discordant times."
