Pressing Matters : Magazine : The Passion & Process Behind Modern Printmaking : Issue 26

Pressing Matters Issue 26 - ‘Where Do We Get Our Ideas From? I Find It Fascinating How Some People Choose To Look Within (or Close To Home) For Their Inspiration, Where Others Create Magical, Imaginary Worlds To Explore Their Thoughts And Feelings In Print. This Issue Sees Stories Of Mythical Beings And Monsters Sitting Next To Articles On Self-reflection And Transience. Both Share A Thoughtfulness That The Makers Put Into Their Work – Part Introspective, Part ‘come And See What I Think About The World’ – It’s This Duality That Makes The World Of Printmaking Such An Interesting Place To Delve Into. ‘These Makers Are A Generous Bunch Too – Whether It’s Passing On Their Skills To A Community, Suggesting Ideas For New Approaches Or Taking Us On A Walk Around The City That Means So Much To Them, The Artists In This Edition Happily Offer Up A Slice Of Their Knowledge Pie, No Questions Asked. Sharing Is Such An Important Part Of The Creative Process And We Hope That By Bringing These Stories And Printmakers Together For You, We’re Doing Our Bit Too.’ This Issue Features: Anne Benjamin • Paul Catherall • Pauline Caulfield • Hammer Chen • Curious Journeys • Stanley Donwood • Issue 26 Print Challenge • Suzanne Kruisdijk • Louise Lockhart • Vanessa Meshack • Mabel & Co • Jamie Murphy • Jaco Putker • Cloudia Rivett-Carnac • Gemma Trickey • TYPA • Cloudia Rivett-Carnac • Viola Wang • Sophia Wolf 100-page Perfect Bound Publication, Printed By Buxton Press On Edixion Offset Paper.
