In this course, you will explore ways in which contemporary print processes can inform traditional print production and vice versa. Sourced materials/imagery, photographs, historical references and hand drawings will be mediated through material collage and/or digital processes. You will generate conceptually and visually coherent working drawings, collages and proofs which will, in turn, inform the production of original prints that utilise the reduction linocut processes. Notions of appropriation, quotation, recycling and hybridity will be embedded into explorations of the unique possibilities offered by various print generations. You will also investigate the ongoing dialogues between historical and contemporary methods of print production. Projects will encourage processes of documentation and reflection to inform and extend your studio work.?
