Exhibition summary

Traces brings together a collective of artists to explore how printmaking can investigate landscape through the lenses of memory, experience, history, and imagination. Through slow and layered material processes, the exhibited works invite visitors to contemplate the shifting relationships between place, time, and human perception.

Curatorial context

Traces is a collaborative exhibition that examines the concept of landscape as an entity constantly redefined by memory, experience, history, and the imagination. By employing slow, evolving, and highly layered material processes, the participating artists create prints that intentionally resist a sense of completion, encouraging viewers to engage deeply with the fluidity of place and time. The collection features works by Princetown Press, Catherine Ade, Helen Rollinson, Jo McAllister, Kei Wing Hui, and Amber Rollinson. Together, these artists investigate how physical printmaking techniques serve as a medium for capturing the elusive, shifting nature of perception. The resulting images act as traces of the artists' internal and external journeys, offering visitors a meditative environment to reflect on how we perceive and record the world around us.
