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 simultaneous difference and similarity within the print.
This research focuses 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 encounters with personal archives.
Research Contribution
The research utilises this merging of analogue and digital technology to focus on identity issues connected to inherited stereotypes and myths. In this series of works, digital processes and analogue methods propose new ways to re-contextualise and understand personal archives that seductively played into childhood imagination as symbols of Australian masculinity. Works in this folio combine traditional print processes and new technology to form a hybrid practice, investigating the inherent tensions of the print process and imagery utilised.
Research Significance
The significance of this research is in its examination of a range of approaches to printmaking in which ideas are allied to process and technique, resulting in hybrid practice. Its excellence is evidenced by.
