An exhibition from Seacourt Print Workshop exploring safer printmaking techniques
Ards Arts Centre, Newtownards
2 – 30 April 2009
Society’s obsession with removing risk from our lives can sometimes be perceived as a dulling of existence and a taming of the creative spirit, which by necessity requires risk taking. Building on a programme of research into non-toxic approaches to printmaking, SPW members were asked to respond to the word Anodyne. Applying the ‘harmless/healing’ sense of the word to their technical practice they were encouraged to experiment with new processes and materials recently introduced to the workshop or use our existent safer processes to engage thematically with the word. The results show that safer approaches to printmaking can be as effective as traditional ones and that printmaking techniques that are harmless do not need to engender insipid art.
