Architecture Stephanie Turnbull Linocut 4/10 Steph Unusual choice for a girl from Wales, Stephanie's linocut sweeps up and beyond the book covers to form the shapes of the Harbour Bridge with the sails of the opera house in the foreground.  Printed in the cool colour of steel, this book this is a strong work and is well suited to the subject of architecture. Tic Tac Tictac, 'some windows never open' mixed media, 5/10 Textural paper with large open windows cut and folded over to form the book, gives the appearance of building material. Large areas are cut to form windows, but are blocked by what appears to be framed photographs with a misty outlook, embellished with black and red markers, the works takes on a mysterious air. Well constructed and thought out book.

2020 Human Emotion Print Exchange details QG print exchange The print exchange exhibition is a highlight event during the Queenscliff Literary Festival – and just as much anticipated by the literary world as it is by the art world. The print exchange theme for 2020 will focus on various human emotion.

Catherine Mc Cue  One hundred and thirty kilometres from Eronmanga, south west of Queensland is a gas plant, where working as an artist in residence I was free to explore the landscape in and around the plant.  My main interest was in the visual contamination of the surrounding landscape. The images produced use techniques such as mokulito, ‘wood lithography’, monoprint and digitally altered photography.

This work also included the use of mono printing to form the background colour, using a cl...
