Layering Nature with Celia Walker - Te Kowhai Print Trust

Te Kowhai Print Trust

A 2-day workshop (7/8 March) using collagraph and monotype methods to create loosely bound artist books that are a response to the local landscape.

Participants will be shown how to use found materials to create textured collagraph and monotype plates, with the addition of carborundum for expressive image-making. Over the course of the two-day workshop we will produce a range of unique state prints that incorporate several processes, which will be loosely bound at the end of the workshop. This ecological-themed workshop will focus on ways of directly recording the natural environment by using textures, forms and surfaces of the local landscape

Celia Walker is a printmaker based in Tāmaki Makaurau, whose work reflects her interests in ecology and human-altered landscapes. She uses non-toxic processes such as collagraph and monotype to create unique-state prints that are often quite large scale. She has coordinated several collaborative print installations around environmental themes that explore ways paper can be manipulated, shaped and transformed. Celia has been a finalist is several major national awards, including the New Zealand Painting and Printmaking Awards, the Parkin Drawing Prize, and the Estuary Art and Ecology Awards.
