THINKING OF PLACE IV: FLEET

Thinking of Place iv: Fleet, is a collaboration between eleven printmaking groups in a cross-cultural dialogue with the aim of creating eleven vessels, each in six parts. Linking together via the common motif of a ship or boat the works are imagined, emblematic or referencing an actual vessel as a powerful symbol of journey, transience, crossing boundaries, traversing spaces and fostering cultural connections. The full fleet of vessels serves as a visual metaphor for diverse perspectives coming together to form a cohesive unit.

Sixty-six artists from across the globe include; Goldfields Printmakers and Melbourne Printmakers (Australia), North Island Printmakers and Ōtautahi Printmakers (New Zealand), Printmakers East to West (USA), Flying Proa: Taotao Tåsi (Guam and Japan), Funen Printmakers (Denmark), Limerick Printmakers (Ireland), +C4- (Serbia, Norway, Croatia, Boznia-Herzegovina, Canada and USA), Canada West Studios (Canada), and Anatolian Printmakers (Türkiye)

OPEN I Thursday and Friday 12.30 to 5pm.  Tuesday and Wednesday by appointment.
