Abstract
Research Background
Many artists maintain motivation and practice within a singular medium. Meanwhile, for others, studio practice is constantly in flux. Contemporary practice has seen how printmaking has embraced hybrid activity that has directed new approaches to studio production and highlighted experimental haptic activity associated with exploring repetition in print and the uncanny in new sculptural realms.
'Filthy Lucre' is a collaborative book investigating inherited gender stereotypes formed in childhood through play—an artist book in the form of a deck of playing cards made up entirely of Jokers. A House of Cards game is a cynical metaphor for the apparent problems democracy faces in a capitalist system.
Research Contribution
The research utilises interdisciplinary practice to focus specifically on issues of identity. Mixed media processes are used to develop sculptural forms. Works in this folio combine process to form a hybrid practice, investigating the aura of repetition connected to the inherent tensions of print process, codex structures, and imagery utilised.
Research Significance
The significance of this research is in its examination of a range of interdisciplinary approaches to process in which ideas are allied to process and mixed media technique, resulting in hybrid practice. The work’s significance is indicated by their inclusion in several peer-reviewed group shows, including.
1) Inclusion in international and national exhibitions.
