Antonietta Covino-Beehre, Deanna Hitti, and Carolyn Lewens

Recent contemporary printmaking.

Age-long practices, established methods and conventional techniques are overturned and re-interpreted with a fresh approach that brings new vigour to the medium. Printing techniques such as woodcuts, intaglio, collagraphs and cyanotypes are brought into a new light. The old is remade; ideas are re-contextualised. The exhibition does not aim to re-define printmaking – the works question established methods and means of what a print can be, while simultaneously allowing new possibilities in the articulation of this medium.

The exhibition runs concurrently with IMPACT 7 printmaking conference hosted by Monash University.
