ABOUT
RUB & ROLL is the culmination of 4 months of exploratory printmaking using non- toxic techniques - above and below the plate surface, with a core group of 5 exhibiting artists - mentors Sarah Garvey & Lisa Chappell alongside participant artists Bella Kerr, Kate Shooter and Eleanor Whiteman.
After 4 months, these artists have worked alongside each other learning how to take an image apart and reconstruct it. Starting with a poem, they established the foundations of their visual quest.
Through adding, separating, etching, scoring into plates, they have watched with frustration and wonder how exploring mark marking through the application of a process can engineer access to more than just the surface.
Printmaking has involved excavations, additions, fixing the illusory, to explore through the very process the ability to touch a private inner space and somehow articulate that, on the paper - a transference of elements which form a version of the tale.
They’ve absorbed and learnt collagraph (adding to and taking away of the surface)using drawing as incision, painted mark and areas which interact with the inking up, a whole new process, which could then be combined with addition of the mysterious photographic element of etched solar plates.
AMDAN
RUB & ROLL y penllanw 4 mis o archwilio drwy wneud print gan ddefnyddio technegau anwenwynig uwchben ac o dan arwyneb y plât, gyda grŵp craidd o 5 artist; sy’n cynnwys y mentoriaid Sarah Garvey a Lisa Chappell gyfochr â’r artistiaid Bella Kerr, Kate Shooter ac Eleanor Whiteman.
Mae’r artistiaid yma wedi gweithio gyda’i gilydd dros gyfnod o 4 mis, gan ddysgu sut i dynnu llun yn ddarnau a’i ail greu. Gan ddechrau gyda cherdd, sefydlon nhw seiliau eu taith gweledol.
Drwy ychwanegu, gwahanu, ysgythru, ac ysgaffri mewn i blatiau, maent wedi gwylio'n rhwystredig a phendroni sut y gall archwilio gwneud marciau trwy gymhwyso proses, greu mynediad i fwy na'r arwyneb yn unig.
Mae gwneud printiau wedi cynnwys cloddiadau, ychwanegiadau, trwsio'r rhith, er mwyn archwilio trwy'r union broses y gallu i gyffwrdd â gofod mewnol preifat a rhywsut fynegi hynny, ar y papur – trosglwyddiad o’r elfennau sy'n ffurfio fersiwn o'r chwedl.
Maent wedi amsugno a dysgu colagraff (ychwanegu at yr arwyneb a thynnu ohono) gan ddefnyddio lluniadu fel endoriad, marc wedi'i baentio ac hefyd rhyngweithio â'r broses incio , proses hollol newydd, y gellid ei chyfuno gan ychwanegu'r elfen ffotograffig ddirgel o’r platiau solar ysgythrol.
The aim set by Sarah, was for each artist to make an edition of one image; the ability to commit and repeat, an exercise in what printmaking can by definition fulfill, and a test of skill.
The show will highlight the original artist printing plates, and exploratory one off prints, alongside the selected and curated highlights within the display.
Through the stages of the journey, it is hoped to inform and reveal the journey that each have taken in arriving at this point.
Yr amcan a osodwyd gan Sarah, oedd i bob celfyddydwr lunio argraffiad o un ddelwedd; y gallu i ymrwymo ac ailadrodd, ymarfer yn yr hyn y gall gwneud printiau yn ôl ei ddiffiniad ei gyflawni, a phrawf o sgil.
Bydd y sioe yn tynnu sylw at y platiau gwreiddiol a phrintiau archwiliadol un tro, ochr yn ochr â'r pigion a ddetholwyd a churadwyd o fewn yr arddangosfa.
Trwy pob cam o’r daith, y gobaith yw hysbysu a datgelu'r daith y mae pob un wedi'i chymryd wrth gyrraedd y pwynt hwn.
Sarah is a contemporary artist born in London, now living in the Vale of Glamorgan. Sarah is combines different technology and printing techniques to create her images - “My work is about connection. I aim to create ambiguity between our inside and outside, two vast feeling spaces.’’
Eleanor Whiteman is based in Caerphilly, South Wales. Her background in Geology and photography has deepened her relationship with the landscape - she is particularly drawn to the coast where "time is exposed on an epic scale.”
Kate Shooter creates work which is process driven and related to automatic drawing. “I came to the realisation some time ago that all my work is self-portrait. My compulsion to paint is really the need to make the interior exterior, to render as authentically as possible the experience of being human.
After studying fine art and film in London, Bella worked both there and in Wales, teaching at all levels from Foundation to post-graduate. "I hoped to intensify and direct my drawing through the processes and repetitions of printmaking, testing thoughts and gathering in stray threads from past work."
Lisa Chappell is a London-based artist and printmaker, currently working as Specialist Screen Print Technician for University of The Arts, London. Her work explores motion, stillness and duration: focussing on the spaces in-between experienced by travel, and fleeting moments of shifting vistas and changing light.
