Jenn Lawโ€™sย practice involves letterpress printing poeticย sentimentsย onto the leaves and petals of wild and domestic plants, often as the first stage of a multi-print process. For each piece in her โ€˜sub rosaโ€™ series, Law rearranged letterpress printed rose petals into new forms - some closely resembling a rose, others more abstracted. Photographs of these rose petal arrangements were then exposed onto photopolymer prepared plates to be inked and pressed onto paper through the press.

Simple to describe. Years in the making!

Jenn (Jenn Law) and Laine Groeneweg (Laine Groeneweg) spent over 2 years experimenting with different plates, inks and imagery to refinine the process, but once dialled in, the amazing results speak for themselves.

On view in Jennโ€™s current exhibition, โ€œThis is how we surviveโ€ on view through October 23.

Documenting artwork is not as simple as just taking a picture of it. But when itโ€™s done right it makes a world of difference in how you can present the work in a digital format, or make reproduction prints that maintain the character and integrity of the original.

Today we take a little peek behind the curtain of our Toronto studio while documenting a gorgeous new work by Johanna Reynolds, Painter

Powered by the Phase One IQ4 150MP camera, ikan Lyra LBX40 lighting system, and mastered against golden thread colour targets, this setup is designed to provide the most accurate and highly detailed flat art documentation possible.

Need your art documented? Donโ€™t hesitate to get in touch!

We are beyond excited to finally share a LITTLE something weโ€™ve been working on behind closed doors at the studio over the last several months! On now at the Art Gallery of Ontario, โ€˜My 90โ€™s Rock Photographsโ€™ by Melissa Auf der Maur Melissa Auf der Maur

It has been an incredible honour and privilege to help bring this exhibition to life and see it presented in such a beautiful and important Canadian cultural venue. It has put our studio to the test in every capacity, from scanning of all the original 35mm film negatives, editing, printing, and finally preparing the work for final exhibition.

As children of the 80โ€™s/90โ€™s, and teenagers of the early 2000โ€™s, this exhibition has been especially interesting to work on both for its connection to the music of that era of which we are big fans, but also for its behind the scenes depiction of the rock world during that time and the larger counter cultural movement it represents.

As artists, printmakers, and photographers, working on a collection like this is particularly special because of the pivotal moment in time it captures and the precipice it sits upon marking the seeming end of analog, and the rapid shift toward a digital future. This is a reality we are regularly confronting and playing with in our own studio through the multitude of historic and contemporary image making methods we employ on a daily basis.

A huge thank you to Melissa and the entire AGO team for trusting us with such an important and inspiring project.

โ€œA single, gold-sprayed chicken feather hangs in the balance, catching the sharp Hamilton sun as it streams through the windows of Smokestack Gallery. It is a fragile thing, plucked from a neighborโ€™s coop and transformed into a royal scepter of the mundane. Beside it, a row of dolls stands guard. They wear 1990s-style hip-hop gold chains, their plastic limbs dark and regal, but their faces are painted a startling, bone-white.

This is Precious Metals, a collaborative exhibition by Roger Mooking and Laine Groeneweg. To walk through these doors is to step into a curated silence where play replaces work, and every shiny object is waiting to fire its emotional payload into your chest.โ€
