Jane Hammond spoke to PCNY members about how the print she produced for us was made. Here’s some of what we learned….

To start, three different digital prints were created: the maps, the moths and the moth antennae. The digital prints were made by Matthew Dine after Jane created protoypes for each with the help of Jeffrey Scott French. She then added several graphic elements to an existing vintage map of Australia: the thin black outer border, the ornate inner border scroll pattern, and the cartouches in the four corners which hold her signature, the date and the edition number.

The moths’ form was cut out with scissors. The now-exposed white edges were painted umber, ochre and sienna to blend the moth’s edges with the body, which in effect gives a three-dimensionality to the form.

Small bullet-shaped lifts were crafted using archival foam core, wrapped in brown Japanese paper and adhered using methylcellulose. These shapes were used to create the three-dimensional body below the printed body that was adhered to it using Jade glue. This important nuance is visible when the print is viewed from the side.

The antennae were then cut out, crimped gen

This week we unveiled our 2026 Presentation Print, Attacus Wardi by Jane Hammond. Attacus Wardi presents an image of the giant Australian Silk Moth, native to the coastal forests surrounding the port of Darwin and Melville Island. In the print, these coastal areas are visible in the map just above the moth’s antennae.

“Attacus Wardi” is the second largest moth found in Australia, a continent known for its natural marvels. The moth exists for only one or two weeks in the huge and extravagant state presented in its actual size in the print. Using all its energy to find a mate and reproduce, it lacks both a mouth and digestive system as it never eats. All bets are on its dazzle as an enticement to produce the next generation of moths!

Jane chose “Attacus Wardi” for its beguiling beauty and to depict a moth that inhabits a landmass surrounded by water (in this case, a continent) so that the moth’s discrete shape emulates the landmass.

Notice how between the moth’s lower wings one can clearly see the letters AUS on the map, so there is no doubt about where this moth lives. Though the two shapes, body and continent, are juxtaposed in a seemingly logical manner, they also present wild dissimilarity, particularly of scale. The two together connote ideas of exploration, gathering and the accumulation of knowledge — both etymological and cartographic – that are recurring themes in Jane’s work.
Check back to see how the print was made!

What a weekend! We had an incredible experience at the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair.

Thank you to @powerhouse_arts for bringing the event to life. It was so much fun connecting with old friends and meeting new ones! You’ve all inspired us, and we can’t wait for what’s next.

NYC Print fair weekend magic ✨

Only had one day to spend in the city visiting both the @ifpda & the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair @powerhouse_arts 😮‍💨 But we did both on Saturday and saw as much as we could and more importantly everyone we needed to. Being a visitor instead of an exhibitor this year helped with making a one day trip possible!
Just a grouping of highlights that were in my camera roll after the rollercoaster day in the city🎢

So proud of countless printers, friends and artists. Super grateful for the incredible print community and of course the amazing TamFam ❤️ @tamarindinstitute

And if I forgot to tag anyone, please tell me!

Was thrilled to have Rhea from Hyperallergic in the Booklyn/Line Press Booth yesterday at the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair at the Power House. No softball questions from Rhea! 🙏🏽 Golnar Adili, Rhea, and I were honored to get a preview of Ruth’s upcoming book with Reginald Dwayne Betts. Featuring epic abolitionist poetry from Dwayne the book is made entirely from paper handmade by Ruth from the clothes of incarcerated people.✊🏽#brooklynfineartprintfair
