Selected Photography & Printmaking Exhibition

Gallery Closed on Sunday and Monday
Selected is an opportunity to see into the practice of 22 contemporary artist exploring and thriving in using the medias of printmaking and photography across 52 images on display.
Photography and printmaking are similar in that they both have the capability to reproduce an image multiple times with very little variation in the resulting print. However, photography came about through the desire to create exact visual replicas of forms and scenes without manual intervention, while printmaking originally aided the production of photographic illustrations in books by providing a stronger, non-light sensitive ink. Despite this, the two can exist harmoniously together, and photography provides a whole spectrum of new techniques for the printmaker to use in their artworks.
