Dundarave Print Workshop, Vancouver, BC
In 2021 Dundarave Print Workshop marked 50 years (!) of fine art printmaking. It’s a great space, with a gallery showcasing artist-members’ works, and public viewing of the print shop space.

Many thanks to Sean McIntyre who asks thoughtful questions and listens carefully. His article is a remarkably cohesive reflection of my rambling thoughts and ideas. It was also a privilege to meet Don Denton, the contributing photographer, and practising artist. The images capture the subtle details of the artwork – not easy to do with printmaking work. I’m grateful to Susan Lundy, editor and writer, for including me in the connect issue of Tweed magazine.

I’ve never been to Taiwan (have you?) but one of my artworks is juried into the International Biennial Print Exhibition: 2022 ROC. The show runs from August 27 to November 20, 2022 in the Dadun Cultural Center, Taichung City, Taiwan. (It’s conveniently located next to the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, in case you’re planning a visit.)
The International Biennial Print Exhibitionbegan in 1983. Here’s a link to images from the exhibition. There are 180 artworks, from artists in 50 different countries. A virtual catalogue of the exhibition is available here. It’s an opportunity to see a diverse (and inspiring!) collection of contemporary printmaking.
I’m honoured to participate in the International Print Biennial: 2022. My artwork, before and after, here and now, is a 22 by 30 collage of original printmaking (intaglio, collagraph, embossing) and photographic (prints and transparencies) images.

Two themes, Risk Delight and Totem, are emerging in my artwork. Re-examinging the piece, it seems before and after, here and now is a combination of the two series.

The maximum print size for this miniature print show is 8 x 8 inches. Interestingly enough, the submission call also accepted 3D artworks, limited to 8 x 8 x 8 inches. I enjoyed the challenge of creating a print-based sculpture. thin places emerged from this suggested format.

The image size limitation for NYMPE is 9 square inches. My miniature collages are created from previously printed artworks . This self-imposed limitation of creating new work from older works is a continuation of the practice I adopted during the lockdown time of the pandemic restrictions.
