![]() Sometimes I have a concrete idea in mind that I want to convey visually, on other days, I just follow a hunch or maybe I have an urge to produce pure ‘eye candy’. Marion Kamper: ASPIRATION Printmaker Marion Kamper tells us “I often create artwork based on how I feel, which often means intangible emotions rather than specific thoughts or ideas. My intention is to draw awareness that the boundaries we construct are simply illusionary.” Because it is a network there cannot be separation between humans and the natural landscapes. “Life’s beauty arises from symbiotic relationships and interdependence between all living things. ![]() ![]() MaryAnne Molcan drew upon her own observations of plant and fungal activity above ground to capture a visual exploration of imagined concepts related to the world beneath our feet. The imagery in these works are layered with colour and line to capture a network that is teeming with vitality. MaryAnne Molcan: Small Whispers This twelve edition series represents the biological connections that weave through all aspects of our planet. Making something more than it is, we often misunderstand nature and the way of things. Using bright and intense inks, Heather draws attention to these amazing forms, all that nature puts out! With an Australian twist, the idiom as a metaphor for overreacting talks to our need to better understand and respect nature. She has since been working on creating a series of single and multi-woodblock prints, rendering these natural sculptures flat. Heather Groves: Making Mountains out of Termite Mounds Having recently visited Kakadu National Park, and impressed by the tiny homes of the tiny pest, termites, Heather Groves took photographs and made abstracted drawings from these forms. The actual newsprint is a separate block which gives him the flexibility to create different editions with varying headlines. The print itself is a 2 block piece created from salvaged vinyl flooring. The newsboy was a big part of life in the city, and this block print is David’s homage to them. The work is multiblock linocut print on Japanese HoSho paper, printed by hand with a wooden spoon in Haychley’s little Norfolk studio.ĭavid Cumming: The Glasgow Newsboy “I love capturing Scotland’s industrial heritage and I’m obviously drawn towards Glasgow’s rich history,” says printmaker David Cumming. The piece depicts a different way of life, respecting animals, putting down tools and treating them well, with a female figure looking up in awe. As an animal lover and someone striving to be vegan, she decided to create a print that presented ‘An alternative history’. Haychley Webb: An Alternative History… “I have been wanting to create a print inspired by prehistoric cave art for a long time but while researching ideas the designs all, understandably, involved killing and hunting animals,” states linocut artist Haychley Webb. “Death will come, slowly and relentlessly, but the life lived before that day can be also beautiful and colourful, especially if filled with art and creativity.” The print is a limited edition of 10 copies and is available in EneArtworks store. ![]() A step away from his usual monochromatic work, this piece has inspired the printmaker to experiment more with colour within his works. He took one of his old subjects, the snail, and printed it using the three primary colours. From salvaged lino to intricately carved wood blocks, our members use a variety of mediums to bring their unique ideas to life.ĮneArtworks: Slow Death (RYB) Slow Death is inspired by the summer season, and Enea’s wish to create a multi-colour linocut print. Block printing is a relief process that involves printing onto a surface using a hand-cut or carved block. This month we’re proud to present a selection of block printers from our Official POP Community. ![]()
