I am thrilled to be among the 43 finalists for this year’s Experimental Print Prize at Castlemaine Art Museum. My work, ‘Fugitive’, is a frottage print (rubbing) of my large woven wire piece titled ‘Athena’ (which is also currently showing in Castlemaine at FALT window - see event post).
Celebrating innovation in Victorian printmaking, Castlemaine Art Museum presents the third Experimental Print Prize (EPP). Established in 2019, the biennial, non-acquisitive prize is open to artists residing in Victoria. There is a strong tradition of printmaking in Victoria and the EPP seeks to foster new directions in the field, through both the exhibition of shortlisted artists and awarding of prizes. Unique amongst printmaking prizes, EPP recognises that experimentation and risk are essential to art.
