Well I rode my bike down to Port Jackson Press in Collingwood this morning to see Against the Grain. What a gorgeous spring day it is here! Sun is shining, a light breeze, everything is flowering (sorry hayfever sufferers!). The world looks good today. And at the exhibition I fell in love with a cod piece by Rhyll Plant - the gorgeous wood engraving above. The digital image here does not do this print justice I swear!And I also really liked Georgia Thorpe's sensual tableau III, a woodcut and intaglio print. The exhibition finishes this Sunday so hurry down there.
I'm going outside now to catch some more of that wonderful vitamin d.
wow! that is really cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend the day. Thanks for sharing those beautiful works.
ReplyDeleteMIZU: Thanks for sharing this piece. I like the layering, and the simplicity, both. We have a local artist named Elsie Sims, who came to California, after Colorado and Washington. It was the migrant workers who caught her eye, and become some of her best work.

ReplyDeleteTeri - thanks for your comments. If you click on the words 'cod piece' you can follow it to the exhibition website to find out more info about the artist.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking all things printmaking after a little time on a press last weekend and some time sorting out "shed" methods for etching. All good, except I still have no press and am not about to spend a fortune on one. I think I'll just have to prepare plates and book time in for the one and only press that I know I may, read may, have access to. Sigh. This work - wow. Makes your heart sing to see work like that.
