Anita Jung uses collage and recycled materials in her printmaking process. Book covers and pre-used print surfaces are common in her work, and she is also interested in the creative waste materials generated through CNC machines. These anonymous materials are beautifully abstract though they hold the cold precision of technology simultaneously with the humility of being deemed non-useful. These castoff materials create veils and dialogues within an artificially created architecture.  Anita often contemplates the jali or jaali, stone screens used in Indo-Islamic architecture. These screens were used both to keep cool and to conceal interior space from the exterior world. She attended Arizona State University, where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing; she received her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the graphic arts. She was born and raised in Chicago. She is a frequent traveler to India. Jung is a professor at the University of Iowa.
