Julienne Francis and Celia Walker: Rust Blooms

Opening in the Small Dog Gallery
Saturday 2 November 3 – 4.30pm

Julienne Francis and Celia Walker explore the random and unexpected effects of ‘rust printing’ in wall-hung works and three-dimensional artist books. The varying hues of weathered iron are incorporated with other print processes in a range of new work.

Both artists have accumulated discarded objects and fragments that are used for eco-printing onto mulberry, kozo and other printmaking papers. The shifting rust tones are used for works that look at nature, history and more abstract forms.
