Johann Booyens For me, art is the fundamental metaphysical activity of humankind. Cézanne stated that art and nature present themselves as two harmonies, existing alongside each other, thereby being equal. It is these liminal spaces, the transitional overlap between two ideas, I find fascinating. The most common and ancient of these exist in [...]
Laura Boswell My work explores ideas space and scale in wild landscape. I work in reduction linocut which allows me to edit as I go, using mark-making tools directly onto the block to inform my cutting. I print in many washes of transparent ink. My prints are not direct portraits of specific locations: [...]

I cut in a loose, painterly fashion using a variety of gouges to [...]

Hester Cox I regularly run and walk in the fells of the Yorkshire Dales and my printmaking reflects my connection to its landscape and natural history. My images are often inspired by wildlife encounters or sometimes a found object such as a feather or bone. I specialise in collagraph, a diverse method that [...]
