Through selected materials and works from two studios, Sydney’s Polyline Press and New York’s a83, PRESSURE investigates printmaking as both an artistic medium and a rigorous pedagogical tool.
By elevating the often-overlooked mechanics of process and allowing final works to be experienced alongside sketches, tools, and videos that define them, the deliberate slowness and labour-intensive mechanics of craft are made visible; with gallery temporarily turned printmaking workshop, the physical actions of separation, reversal, pressure, and repetition that define the medium, and the workshop, are revealed.
