~Tommi Cahill is interested in imagery and media. She 

borrowed printing plates that date from the late 1800’s to the late 1950’s from magician and magic historian Mike Caveney which she printed on an old letterpress at the University of Redlands. The plates have not seen ink and paper in decades. The plates are mainly drawings of tricks and apparatus used in advertisements and of magicians who would pack them in a trunk and travel with them from town to town. Each time the magician would enter a new town the magicians’ assistant would carry the plates over to the local newspaper along with information about the show s/he would be performing. The plates and information would then be printed in the paper with the hope of gaining audience members for the shows.

   

   Tommi received her BFA at California Institute of the Arts and her MFA at Yale University. She has widely shown her work nationally as well as internationally. Her work is part of the permanent collection at the Yale University Art Gallery. She currently lives in Los Angeles and teaches 

Photography full time at the University of Redlands.
