Image by artist, Gisela Torres. Print made using Epson Advanced Black & White on Awagami Kozo Doubled Layered and separated to 30 gsm then mounted to aluminium. A webbed network of 100% mulberry fibres is where the image nestles illuminated by its aluminium host.

Following my request for help with images to test new mounting techniques, here’s the first result and I’m delighted. A success in terms of what I learned and it actually worked. I’ve taken it out and about to see how it fares. It takes on the environment it’s in beautifully. Hoping to pop into the studio to see how the other two tests have progressed. More updates to follow on Lamina - Kozo mounted to aluminium.

Interested in what Piezography® Pro split toned carbon pigment prints feel like on Awagami Bizan washi? This is a print made today for artist to exhibit alongside works by .

Collaborating remotely, we free the image from the screen to become a work of art. The mulberry fibres in the handmade Bizan washi, together with the tiny carbon and pigment particles deliver a sensational depth across the print. Any of the artists I’ve printed for on this paper will attest to its unique character.

This is arguably the simplest of the prints to make for John - the others require hand deckling for full bleed and mounting to aluminium. Super excited to get these complete and out the door to John.

If you’d like to try Piezography® Pro split toned carbon pigment printmaking on Awagami Bizan drop me a line, we’ve only got a few boxes of A3+ remaining.

Reflecting on today’s Print Residency at Lucid with artist and art consultant, Gina Cross, I’m giving myself permission to acknowledge how my way of collaborating impacts the work. Most of today’s session was conversation, listening to Gina discuss her practice and her journey - tapping into the essence and self that exists in her work. This has been a journey for both of us, with many conversations along the way. Today Gina was confident in her purpose, in a way that the culminating piece became an object in the world. Free from the screen and sitting atop of paper, it became one with the surface, holding its space inviting the viewer to continue the dialogue Gina had started. Drawn with knives, painted with light and finished at Lucid - a new beginning.

Tested colour Piezography® Pro carbon pigment split tone print on Awagami Bizan Medium White washi. I’m still in love with pure monochrome Piezography® Pro split tone, however, am somewhat awed by the process and outcome. We have three Piezography® Pro machines and this print was made on our first and custom Piezography® Pro printer.

The print features an image by - one of several works - in preparation for an exhibition.

DM an image you feel would work well with this process and let me know if you’re happy for me to share it on my story.

You’ll find us on the website specialising in making prints on all their papers.

Congratulations to French artist Franz Galo on the opening of New Territories, his debut solo show at Gallery 55.

Today, you can see the show and attend the artist talk from 11:00 - 12:00.

The dedication behind the scenes to show this incredible curation of works saw Michael and I put everything into ensuring the artist’s vision and intentions were achieved while he was away.

We meticulously made 28 beautiful prints in collaboration with Franz where every last detail was considered. Franz trusted me to do what I do with split-toning in Piezography® Pro - intuitively toning the image through looking and translating that vision into the physical print. Michael mounted the prints to aluminium and aluminium composite material (ACM), before packing and delivering to Jack Carvosso for framing and finishing, his elite workmanship, design and attention to detail in every piece.

For me, the success is observing others engaging with and making their own relationships with the work, seeing the artist immersed in the din of their guests, simultaneously in their own quiet realising their work becoming the intentions they had set out and more. The red dots next to the works translates to collectors who have been moved by the vision - enough to let others in to experience the same. This is the work, this is part of the why - we are still making prints that resonate.

Collaborating with artists develops my thinking and printmaking practice. DG03 Collective + Guests showed Human:being at Copeland Gallery from 20 to 23 August.

Tzion Essel has been making prints with Lucid since his MA and introduced us to Crispin Day, formerly Professor of Clinical Psychology at King’s College London and now undertaking doctoral research in photography at University of the Arts London.

Tzion and Crispin describe the collaboration best:

“At the time of the MA, everything was last minute. I wasn’t sure on how I wanted to display my works and in what format. Since we worked together initially for the MA grad exhibition, I’ve always come back to Lucid as they helped answer those questions and far in advance to make sure everything was prepared on time and to my liking. They’ve helped me think of my work with print in mind, and it is now the final part of the creative process for me.” Tzion Essel.

“I had a pretty good idea of how I wanted to show the images I initially shared with Denise. But oh how this changed over the remarkable journey we undertook together. A key aspect of this was Denise’s sheer belief and generous enjoyment of my work underpinned by her deep knowledge, extraordinary expertise and sparkling creativity. What a joy to share and develop ideas together that strengthened my images, broadened my imagination and improved my photographic practice. Long may we continue.” Crispin Day.

This body of work, for me, oscillates between the physicality of absent spaces. The ceramic vessels invite a dialogue into the somatic body. Their cast shadows appear intentionally present as part of the body. The different techniques and materials used presents as affective textures, densities and glazes that feed into how the ceramics transcends the space between the paper collage.

I felt a tacit connection between the paper collage and the ceramic vessels. Searching to pin that connection, it remained free and unconstrained.

The sense of weight, density and air becomes present as I stood before the precious paper collage pieces.

This is more than a gift of talent, it is dedication, consistency, research, creative and technical studies, technical skill and process development, creation and so much more from the artist.

Again, for me, this exhibition, has culminated in an eclipse and elevation of the artist’s practice.

Congratulations to Hannah Hughes for a magnificent exhibition opening.

Thinking aloud, no music, just thought.

Or what could this ‘it’ be?
