`APEX INDEXED ´ Photopolymer Gravure with Chine Collé 

"Apex Indexed" is a two colour hand printed photopolymer etching with Chine Collé detail. The work refers to the automated process that organises and categorises our physical actions into a digital format, driven by technology. Every tap, swipe, or scroll on a touchscreen generates data—information about our actions, preferences, locations, and even the way we interact with the world. This data contributes to the global map of digital information, and has an energy correlation and carbon footprint implications. 

 

To reclaim autonomy over technology shaping and tracking our daily lives.  We can lean toward mindfulness, disconnection, and intentionality to reconnect with the tactile, sensory world around us, to engage with the world physically. 

 

Transparent and user-controlled systems could reassert our control over how technology interfaces with our bodies, bringing a sense of balance between the digital and physical realms.

PRESS RELEASE 'Self-Portrait' 3 March - 8 April 2023 ( extended ) International Printmaking Exhibition ATHENS PRINTMAKING ART CENTER – PANDOLFINI & SIATERLI C.N.P.P. invites you to the international printmaking exhibition “Self-Portrait”, presented at ETCH INK art space from March 3 until April 8, 2023. Upon an open call in the summer of 2022, the ATHENS PRINTMAKING ART CENTER – PANDOLFINI & SIATERLI C.N.P.P. invited visual artists, printmakers and artistic groups from all over the world to investigate the artistic and creative potential of self-portraiture and create new, original artworks. Self-Portrait features new productions and past works from the entire spectrum of printmaking, encouraging artists to initiate a fruitful dialogue around this topic and experiment with the various printmaking techniques and visual representations of the face. The participants investigate the theme using a variety of techniques such as linocut, woodcut, etching, aquatint, intaglio, mezzotint, dry point, photo transfer, collagraph, chine collé, monotype, while simultaneously experimenting with the creative combinations between various media such as collage, photography, sketching and digital printing. The outcome of this international call has led to a group exhibition with 55 contemporary printmakers from Greece, Cyprus, Serbia, Slovakia, Poland, Italy, France, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, South Africa, Morocco, Taiwan, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil and US. Self-portraiture has been a recurring theme in the history of art, bringing the artist’s own image and the notion of the self to the forefront of artistic exploration and visual experimentation. Through the creative potential of self-portraiture and the language of printmaking, participating artists explore themes related to personal experience, identity and performed roles. Its visual language becomes a vehicle for an exploration and deeper understanding of the body, memory and psyche. Alongside the introspective nature of the works, the exhibition focuses on self-portraiture as an indicator and bearer of social messages and policies. The artworks bear the marks and contemporary stakes of the times in which they are produced, while the artist becomes the channel through which these are transmitted and diffused. Self-staged images, either approached through humour and playfulness or immediacy and sharpness, reveal aspects of reality that would otherwise have been secret and hidden to the viewer’s eye. What does a self-portrait actually unravel about our individual and collective bodies? Self-Portrait exhibition focuses on the rich language of printmaking and the visual representations of the self, transcending the mere personal narrative, opening up new trajectories towards collective quests and wider sociopolitical manifestations, while rendering the representation of one’s self and body a political rather than just an individual matter.

LOST & FOUND ARTWORK  / The DOMINO EFFECT

Out of the blue, I was contacted by Filmmaker, James Murphy for the safe return of three pieces of artwork that had been exhibited in Editions Gallery, Liverpool. Unbeknown to me, my pieces had been in the care of James along with over 80 other works that had also been in safe storage. The exhibition called 'The Domino Effect' tok place with reputable artists from the North West of England, in Editions Gallery one summer in July. 

 

These works were bestowed into James care by the late Miss Felicity Wren. Felicity was a good friend and mentor, and she lived at Upper Newington in Liverpool. Throughout her years she was well known in Liverpool as an art educator and gallery owner of The Domino Gallery. The many shows she held over the years lead to around  80 pieces of art being accumulated in her apartment at Upper Newington. It was extremely sad to hear of her illness and just before her passing Felicity contacted James to look after over 80 artworks. With this custodianship James set about documenting and tracking down the origins of each piece of work with the rightful artist owner. 

 

He did managed to track down most, and in the process made a film. 

Watch here  >     EVENT HORIZON  

Thanks to James Murphy for seeing this unexpected endeavour into fruition.  For exhibiting and getting in touch for a chat about my connection with Felicity.  I shall be reunited with three pieces I thought were long gone ! Felicity would have been so ' delighted '  these works found their way back to the artists she once supported.
