Abstract
Research Background
Due to its hybrid, versatile nature and ability to adapt quickly to technological change, printmaking continues to be embraced by contemporary art practice. The combination of digital and analogue printmaking has introduced new approaches to 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. Further to this, examining how the use of both old and new technologies together can foster innovation in printmaking.
Research Contribution
The research utilises this merging of printmaking technology and interdisciplinary practice to focus specifically on issues of identity, nostalgia, memory and loss. In this folio, digital processes used together with analogue methods are proposing new ways to re-contextualise source materials. Works in this folio combine process to form a hybrid practice, investigating the aura of repetition connected to the inherent tensions of print process 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.
