Recommended by Nikki(Fine Print Photographer & Content Publisher): Viewers are not permitted to see the face of the figure, but are permitted to see the eyes and face of the elk spirit acknowledging us. We are shown a connection to something that cannot speak, but is visible in the elk. Its freedom, trapped in a human body, wearing a dress, is able to confront and take up space the physical form of the woman is not.

Recommended by Nikki (Fine Print Photographer & Content Publisher): "Wuon Gean Ho’s Devour V is from a series of intaglios she created in 2009. This series begins with a woman asleep, laying on top of a tiger. The cat awakes first and begins walking around until the woman also awakes and opens her feral-looking eyes. They separate from one another, and begin sizing each other up as they circle. They grapple, but do eventually come to terms with each other (tiger licks the woman’s face) before dissolving into each other and the landscape. Devour V illustrates the moment when the woman is fully awake to her struggle with full realization of her circumstances and is actively fighting. Part of being human is coming to terms with our own wild cats that can wake up in us. Eventually, there will be peace and acceptance, but we first have to face them. Ho makes this struggle look sensual and chaotic with her use of subtle plate tone wiping and overlapping hatch marks in the plate. She effectively captures how it can feel to be rolling about with one’s own demons in the intimate space of our own heads."

Recommended by Rebecca (Gallery Manager): "I have always appreciated how Hiroshima can capture the personalities and unique characters of his animals. In this piece, the bright eyes and open mouth of the fish make it seem alive and alert. The artist is also excellent with the color mezzotint technique. Here the dark blues and reds of the water tells the viewer that the fish is swimming deep in the river. The color gradients in the water and the fish's belly are incredibly smooth and natural."
