About Maureen: Examining memory and the seen, the concepts of holding, containment and the hidden interior play a huge role in Maureen’s artistic practice. Often using still life as a starting point to explore these concerns she works with vessels, ancient or modern, domestic and decorative. The flotsam and jetsam of walks in nature, through forest or by the seashore, stuffed in pockets or cloth bags, return with her into the studio to take their places amongst the vessels, real or imagined, as reminders of feelings, temperatures and colours. The changing seasons in the garden offer subjects t ..read more

Jo Okell’s prints are always single Monotypes, sometimes referred to as Unique Prints. She works on them over time using oil based printing ink that requires drying time between each layer.  While at Morley college she used the bed of a large Offset Press to ink up each layer.

Later, while working at Volcanic Editions, she used layers of inked acetate and rolled them through an Etching Press. She works on around seven or eight related series of prints at a time. Red Hiding 03 Monotype She is interes ..read more

These become both drawn and photographic silks screen prints in single colours carefully produced and well crafted works.’   ..read more

‘Vestige’ Eva tells us  ‘The series Vestige developed out of my ongoing interest in the exposed chimney breasts that are often found at the end of terraced houses. Based on the indexical relationship between blind embossing and trace, the series Vestige alludes to the hidden layers of the facade’s history. I employed a combination of printmaking techniques such as blind embossing and photopolymer to notice the chimney breasts, the ghostly reminders of the building’s past.’ Eva Bachmann Title: Vestige Medium: photo polymer and blind embossing blind embossing A3 2019 ..read more
