Two of my larger collage pieces are in PRINT:imPRESSions.  Before and After, Here and Now, makes its second public appearance – it debuted in the International Print Biennial 2022 in Taiwan.

A variety of printmaking techniques from 24 local printmakers are featured. The 57 piece exhibition includes everything from Alumigraph to Wood block printing  (including the oh-so-intensive mezzotint process) as well as some unconventional utilization of print to artworks.

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.
