Studio Printmakers Members' Exhibition

Scorched Earth (Detail) by Toni Hartill

 It was a pleasure to be a part of the recent Studio Printmakers members exhibition 

"Four Seasons" in the main gallery at Lake House Arts in Takapuna.

This was a mini print exhibition with strict parameters resulting in a smart and cohesive display of members' works. It was well received by visitors too with almost half of the works selling.

Studio Printmakers Collective was formed by a group 

of practicing Auckland printmakers in 1990.

 

Initially the aim was to provide a studio where printmakers, 

many of whom did not have presses, 

could experiment with, develop and edition prints. 

 

Over the years, however, the studio has also developed 

as a communal place where printmakers gather 

to exchange ideas, hold workshops, organise exhibitions 

and meet visiting local and international printmakers and tutors.

I included 2 works in this exhibition. 

These works are part of a series focused on the 

fragile fragments of kahikatea forest left scattered 

on the Hauraki plains.
