PCA Presidential Print 2003

Robert Jacks (1943-2014) was one of Australia’s most significant and accomplished abstract artists. From his first sell-out solo exhibition at Gallery A in Melbourne in 1966, through to his ongoing exploration of abstraction in painting, sculpture, drawing and printmaking, his work has charted a distinctive and influential path through late twentieth and early twenty-first century Australian art. This rare screenprint Yellow Guitar, was commissioned by the Print Council of Australia as a special Presidential Print in 2003.

Light Shifting Mokuhanga (baren printed water-based woodblock print) using watercolour, mica, gum arabic Edition size: 30 Image size: 56 x 38 cm Paper size: 56 x 38 cm My art explores belonging and dislocation. In the last two years 'isolation' and 'separation' have joined the key words. The process can result in a very narrative print or follow certain materials that spark an association leading to evocative, abstract pieces. Currently I am exploring 'light' as the subject in my prints, playing with white ink, white paper, hints of colour and mica. The real-life inspiration came from a period of isolation in a sparsely furnished, white painted room, where I spent long hours watching sunlight move along the walls. This raised my interest in pieces that come alive with light, works that shift and change with the position of the viewer and the movement of the light source. This means that any reproduction is unsatisfactory; it can only show a flat view on one aspect of the work. This makes it a very corporeal work, alive in paper, hibernating only in a digital representation.   Current financial PCA Members can purchase prints at the discounted rate of $260 per print, or $450 for 2 prints.

Untitled (Corner Study) Two colour woodblock Edition size: 30 Image size: 47 x 68 cm Paper size: 56 x 76 cm My print work is a physical and material exploration into thinking...thinking through a evolving print vocabulary. This is pivotal within my practice—I do not go to the print room with the intention of making a reproduction of a prescribed image from a matrix—rather, I go to the print room to begin a series of thoughts based on ‘pieces gathered’. The prints are derived by the process of making, by drawing on available ingredients that contribute to a sequence of what I call ‘printable events’. Within these interactions, one may achieve the unexpected—sometimes beautiful, sometimes clunky—that prioritise the material experience over language and the figurative.   Current financial PCA Members can purchase prints at the discounted rate of $260 per print, or $450 for 2 prints.

There's nothing we can do about that now Reduction woodcut Edition size: 40 Image size: 58 x 40 cm Paper size: 76 x 56 cm My practice revolves around the tension between humans and the natural world. This print was created with mind to our rapidly degenerating environment, and the transformations we force onto our world that result in seemingly irreparable states. The abrasion/reduction woodcut technique reveals the natural resistance of the material, and the index of each layer removed is recorded within the print.

Images created from drawings by the artist Edition size: 30 Image size: 34 x 27 cm Paper size: 54 x 41 cm Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia Lindl.) is a resilient survivor and defining feature of the semi-arid desert regions of Australia including the Mallee and areas affected by irrigation salinity near the Murray River. This image is part of a series that investigates the botanical legacy of Mallee botanist, Eileen Ramsay, whose pioneering work documented the plants of the region, the traditional lands of the Latji Latji, Ngintait, Nyeri Nyeri and Wergaia peoples.

Beautiful Entanglement Reduction linocut Edition size: 30 Image size: 30 x 30 cm Paper Size: 42.5 x 38 cm Beautiful entanglement is the latest print in my ongoing series of prints relating to cocooning. This imagined scene is a combination of my interest in vintage fabrics, the female form, human/animal relationships and the human need to find refuge to reflect and connect with nature. The print was created from one linoleum block and ten individual colours were used.

Rangihoua Pigment print Edition size: 35 Image size: 48 x 67 cm Paper size: 56 x 76 cm Rangihoua, in the northern Bay of Islands is highly significant as the site of early, prolonged contact between Maori and Pakeha.  It is the location of one of the earliest trading posts, the earliest mission station, and the first formal transfer of Maori land in New Zealand, as well as the earliest recorded church service and the earliest European school. The Europeans arrived in December 1814.  The mission closed in the 1850’s by which time very little land was left in Maori possession.  The arrival of the Europeans at Rangihoua was the start of a process which would eventually transform the country. This work began by re-visiting photographs and drawings made at a particular time and place.  Photographic, hand-made and digital images, captured, drawn or found.  Time fixed, recorded and stilled.  Rangihoua is made with layered photographs and a scanned soft ground etching made from objects gathered at the site.

The Pleasure of Making Multiple block woodcut Edition size: 30 Image size: 55 x 39 cm Paper size: 76 x 56 cm This time of uncertainty and change in the world and in our everyday lives has highlighted for me the infinite and intimate pleasure of making. As one example, I chose the figure of the ceramicist working in its studio.
