Second Impressions (Stage 1)
A printmaking exchange between The Firestation Print Studio & The Makers Studio June 4th to July 8th, 2020 15 printmakers from the Firestation Print Studio, VIC, and 15 printmakers from The Makers Studio, NSW, have created a print that is indicative of their practice, with two prints in the edition. Edition 1 by all 30 printmakers stays in its initial state, image unchanged. While edition 2 is sent to a corresponding interstate printmaker for them to add to the artwork. Then in October, (for Stage 2), we will launch the collaborative edition 2 works and observe how these initial images have evolved through this collaborative process. |
