my new artist website 🚀 🔜
based on a recent series of #cyanotype prints, my intention was to desolve boundaries between #printmaking and #webart.
after noticing that few artists or galleries take websites as a serious medium of expression. Go to your favorite artist’s website you’ll see what I mean. Just doing me opening doors of #possibility. I hope this makes folks brave and inspired toward their own goals.

website’s launching soon…
Conceptualized as a world that offers a 3D experience to encounter my fine art practice on web.
Best experienced on desktop!

Tune in to artist Ivan Forde (@workdaily ) in conversation with curator Dr. Christine Checinska, in honor of his series ‘Eternal Seas’ (2023), made in collaboration with BIONIC (@bionicyarn ) on our Youtube channel. Highlights from the conversation are at the link in bio.
Last Friday, artist Ivan Forde (@workdaily ) was in conversation with curator Dr. Christine Checinska (@checinskachristine ), celebrating his series ‘Eternal Seas’ (2023), made in collaboration with BIONIC (@bionicyarn ). The artworks offer profound commentary on the complex relationships between historical manufacturing sites, synthetic textile innovation, and global trade. Through this installation, Forde uses BIONIC high-performance textiles made from recovered marine and coastal plastic.
Ivan Forde x Bionic Yarn present: Eternal Seas 2025.
🌊🌊🌊
Aligned with textile company Bionic Yarn’s work of repurposing of waste from coastal communities and marine ecosystems and transforming it into high performance textiles, artist Ivan Forde uses this material to depict new poetic visions of fictional and real bodies of water across the world. ETERNAL SEAS for BTB25 is situated in, and considers connections between, historic sites of manufacturing, synthetic textile innovation and trade in New York City, Northern England and beyond.
Following Forde and Bionic’s first collaboration presented at the New York Cotton Exchange in 2023, this installation at Haworth Art gallery in Accrington is comprised of three original artworks from Forde’s ongoing series of seascapes. Situated in conversation with the gallery’s 18th century oil painting “Storm Off The Coast” by Vernet, and their notable collection of Tiffany glass.
Appreciated every single word of feedback and encouragement from visitors. Support provided by, and major gratitude to the following brilliant minds who made these potent connections and brought much care to the work throughout the process..wouldn’t have been possible without you!
Sincerest thanks to:

Lower East Side Printshop is pleased to announce a new benefit edition by artist Ivan Forde (Keyholder ’14) to commemorate the 20th year in its spacious new home in Midtown West.
Ivan Forde is a contemporary artist based in New York, working across photography, printmaking, collage, sound performance, and installation. His benefit edition “Untitled, or Self Portrait (as a poem)” marks an uncommon title for the artist, who rarely frames his work as self-portraiture, though he often appears within the landscapes inspired by poetry found within his art practice. Created after meaningful time in London and Tokyo for exhibitions, the piece reflects the influence of Japanese aesthetics in its deliberate use of open space. It considers what is expressed and left unspoken, as well as how nature, here symbolized as a bird, is intricately situated inside the body. This piece allows space to meditate on how our bodies are tied to the environment in often unseen or unexpressed ways.
Link in bio to acquire the benefit edition and support the future of the Lower East Side Printshop and its programs.
