Abstract
Research Background
Contemporary Printmaking has seen how advances in digital technologies have offered new approaches to previous traditional printmaking processes. The combination of digital and analogue printmaking has changed the medium, allowing for simultaneous difference and similarity within the print to occur.
The focus of this research is on how merging these technologies explores the process of variation through replication and questions the concept of the original print in relation to the multiple. The research exploits the power of variation in reproductive methodologies to develop auratic encounter with personal archives as a form of self-expression. Further to this, examining how the use of both old and new technologies together can foster innovation in print media.
Research Contribution
The research utilises this merging of analogue and digital technology to focus specifically on issues of identity connected to inherited stereotypes and myths. In this body of work, digital processes used together with analogue methods are proposing new ways to re-contextualise source material that seductively played into my own childhood imagination as symbols of Australian masculinity. Works in this folio combine traditional print process and new technology to form a hybrid practice, investigating inherent tensions of print process and imagery utilised.
Research Significance
The significance of this research is in its examination of a range of analogue and digital approaches to printmaking in which ideas are allied to process and technique, resulting in hybrid practice. Its excellence is evidenced by. The work’s significance is indicated by their inclusion in several peer-reviewed group shows, including:
