From Absorb to Zoom, An Alphabet of Actions in an Archive, Takeaway Exhibition Poster, 29.7 x 21 cm. Collaborative Print Design with Dan Mather.
From Absorb to Zoom: An Alphabet of Actions in the Women’s Art Library was my first project with a UK archive and my first digital print project. It was supported by a Grant for the Arts from Arts Council England.
The Women’s Art Library started in the late 1970's as an artist-led initiative to enhance knowledge of the practice and achievement of women in the visual arts. Curated by Althea Greenan, this unique archive of women artists’ works is now a Special Collection in the Library of Goldsmiths University of London.
I created a site-specific digital print installation with content derived from print materials in the archive. It was exhibited at Goldsmiths University of London in 2015.
I also created The Virtual Archive, my digital update of work by 17 artists with materials in the archive.
