Fresh prints from up north.
Overview
Woolloongabba Art Gallery’s first 2015 installation showcases the practices of intaglio printmaking (that's etching and engraving) in Western Cape York since 2012. The Western Cape Region is well known for its totemic three-dimensional carvings; however, little is known about the printed paper works of the region. As such, the exhibition Ground provides a window into the lesser known aspect of this region’s art, with many of the works on show being displayed for the first time.
Featuring artists based in Mapoon, Weipa, Naprunam and Aurukun, Ground derives most of its work and focus from the Num Print School program. The Num Print School was developed by Wei’Num to collate and document the region’s growing printmaking sector, introducing new artists to audiences and buyers. The travelling workshop allowed artists to develop, design and proof ongoing works with reoccurring visits.
