VSW11 - Printmaking Methods and Materials
Sharing my final work for my printmaking subject at uni, it's a bit of a heavy subject but has opened some great conversations. I was required to make an 'artist's book', which is loosely related to a conventional bound book, anything goes!
"Artist's book presented as a memory quilt, neatly folded and tied with a white satin ribbon, representing the perfect hopes and expectations of impending parenthood. The squares that comprise the quilt feature memories of becoming a parent, the joy and chaos, and examine the hazy experiences of PND. Postnatal depression affects approximately 16% of new mothers, and manifests as the experience of losing the sense of self and the joy in one’s life, at what should be a most joyful time. Depression results in disengagement from others, and there are sections of the quilt that are intended to disengage the viewer through disruptions in the viewer-subject relationship. The quilt was hand-stitched to signify the effort, time and commitment required to work through recovery. The transformation of recovering the joy of life is described through the struggle culminating in an openness, confidence and vitality. The open quilt is displayed in a familiar domestic setting, pegged to the clothesline in the sunshine."
