Haylie-Jayde Atkins is a young fine arts student studying at the National Art School Sydney Australia, with a major in printmaking, as well as specializing in Art history and drawing.
Using the unique style of heat press process etchings and other experimental modes of printmaking, Haylie questions the materiality of traditional printmaking and print theory to transform it into a new methodology of creation. Haylie’s work can be seen in institutional archives such as Curtin University, Australian University, Royal Melbourn Institute of Technology University, Queensland College of Art (Griffith University), National Art School printmaking archive and University of New South Wales (New College) Archive. In addition to this, her work is also a part of many domestic and some international private collections and has won various awards such as the University of New South Wales Aquisition Prize 2021 and 2022, Ellen Lee O’Shaughnessy Printmaking Award 2022 and was a finalist in the Waverly Print prize in 2022.
Haylie’s recent art practice and area of research combines the use of text to image Artificial intelligence generations with copper etchings to create a multi-layered and multi-meaning work asking queries about artistic identity, originality and the relationship between art and Ai in the development of society, elevating the discussion about this relationship in the modern art world.
