Printmaking is a medium grounded in dualities. Determined by positive and negative, editioned and unique, clean and dirty, absence and presence-it functions within a constant negotiation of opposites. Print practice demands both rigidity and pliability-think of a metal matrix pressing into damp paper. It is bound by a decision-making structure that divides and defines; what is included is dependent on what is excluded.
Curated by More Than Reproduction, HARD/SOFT delves into the dichotomies of print practice, honing in on the interplay between hardness, softness, and the tensions in between. Artists Fergus Berney-Gibson, Annabelle McEwen, Linda Sok, and Maddison Wandel use expanded printmaking across a breadth of conceptual and material investigations. Their works directly or indirectly engage with this polarity, where opposing forces converge and repel through acts of transformation.
