Artist statement
I felt goose bumps just being back in here. I love this print shop. There’s so much opportunity. I spent so much time in this shop, experimenting with the presses. Being back has given me this new, fresh energy. I’m so happy to be here, and the students have been so willing to help and learn. It’s been amazing, even just coming back through those doors. There’s an energy at SCAD that compares to nothing else. No other school has the spirit that SCAD has. It’s everywhere — in the students, the buildings, the work. It’s so powerful and you know that if something comes from SCAD, it’s going to be overwhelming and excellent.

Process
Rodríguez's work encourages viewer interaction with her pink creations. For her SCAD FASH 300 collection, Rodríguez looked to Oscar de la Renta’s use of floral motifs, bright colors and luminosity. First, she created three original hand-cut designs that were then translated into a digital format. The digital format was used to produce laser cuts in various manipulations. Each work was individually pieced together and finished by hand.
About the artist
Lucha Rodríguez’s designs are the first in the SCAD FASH 300 collection. Rodríguez, a Caracas, Venezuela, native, designs vibrant prints and intricately cut paper works from her Atlanta studio. A recipient of the 2010–2011 Emerging Artist Award from Atlanta’s Forward Arts Foundation, her prints and surreal installations have been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in the U.S., Mexico, India and France.
