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.
‘Rabbit behind Rocks’ (Advance Wars Series) is a mixed media body of work that investigates inherited gender stereotypes formed in childhood through play. The title comes from a colloquial name when referring to a particular disruptive pattern camouflage used by Australian Military Forces and makes the connection between innocent play and war games.
Research Contribution
The research utilises interdisciplinary practice to focus specifically on issues of identity. In this folio, 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 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. Its excellence is evidenced by.
