Topographies | Margot Galvin in Rua Red as part of Café Walls
Closing this Wednesday… see it before it closes!
-
‘Topographies’ is a series of mixed media abstract landscapes on fabriano paper using Screenprinting, paint, drawing, and collaged Japanese Kozo paper.
These abstract landscapes are not literal imitations or observations but reconstructed 'interpretations' or responses to the experience of being in particular places. The imagery draws on methods used to chart our experience of place. Some aspects evoke aerial photographs of topographical details, land masses, and sea, while other detailscould be interpreted as ordnance survey maps and charts, seismic waves, or weather map details.
The resulting works are a composite of visual fact, feelings, and imagination. The work is place based but the place is not necessarily recognisable or real, but rather marks a chronology or a register of places I have been, experienced, and imagined in my mind, a personal archive of sorts. This work is the latest in a series of works that explores the impact of our surroundings on the way we experience our place in the world.

Screenprinting as Gaeilge: treoir bhunúsach is an illustrated Irish language guide to screenprinting. This booklet was made as part of the project I run called “Screenprinting as Gaeilge” which aims to promote the Irish language through screenprinting and vice versa.
The project began in 2020 when I found that screenprinting had little to no presence in Irish;
there were only four words relating to screenprinting in The National Terminology Database for Irish. However, to date I have submitted over fifty screenprinting terms which have since been added to the database. I received a bursary from Droichead Arts Centre in 2021 for the project. This funding allowed me to purchase equipment to facilitate screenprinting workshops in Irish, and to publish a series of booklets. Screenprinting as Gaeilge: treoir bhunúsach will
be included in this year’s Dublin Art Book Fair.

greener method of etching. This technique involves
using a mordant based on copper sulphate, saniflush, salt and water to etch aluminum and zinc plates. This method is environmentally friendlier, safer to work with and has very good results. The course is suitable for all levels in etching.

🌳 🏫 Outdoor Classroom 🏫 🌳
Session 3 - exploring printmaking.
Pupils began the session by carefully peeling their handmade paper off the cotton sheet used to make the paper. This revealed beautiful white paper, with natural plant elements contained within the fabric of the paper itself, and rough, organic edges. They then began experimenting with the Gelli-plate Monoprinting technique on old used classroom handouts. Using plant leaves, petals, blades of grass, feathers and cut-out shapes, the children created both negative and positive images from the gelli plates. Pupils also experimented with dripping paint or stamp printing onto the surface.

During late April and May BCPS artists Caroline Byrne, Siobhan Cox and Education Curator Jean Mann, worked on an Outdoor Classroom project with 4th Class pupils from Stanhope Primary School in Stoneybatter Dublin 7.
The Outdoor Classroom Project used the outdoor environment for research purposes, gathering natural materials and artmaking.
Project Artists shared contemporary art practice with pupils and worked with a collaborative focus, generating ideas with the group to form a collaborative artwork, process and intervention in the school building.

🌳 🏫 Outdoor Classroom 🏫 🌳
Session 2 - Paper Making.
Today children learned the process of making handmade paper. Using recycled school paper the girls shredded last week, we further blended this soaked shredded paper into pulp. Then using a mould and deckle, children worked together in groups sieving the pulp onto the frame, while adding their pressed flowers and organic material. They then peeled this new paper onto a cotton sheet and hung up to dry on a clothesline.

For the last six weeks, Asia O'Driscoll has been working here in the studio as the recepient of 2017 Cabinet Award. Asia is a fine art print student in NCAD and impressed us with her idea for a print installation in our cabinet. Asia's piece has been printed from a single copper plate, which is etched, then printed, then ground back to be etched, printed and ground over and over till the work is completed. These repeated processes have transformed and shaped the pieces ultimate outcomes (Which is nearing completion) If your passing by why not check out it's evolution, it is really beautiful. Well done Asia.

'Black Church Landscape - Printmaker' is a book I produced for a college project in 2012. It was made with the kind help of Black Church Print Studio print artist Margaret McLoughlin.
I included photos of items used in the print making process in conjunction with Margaret's detailed visual diary, a great insight into the creative process of the artist and print making.

- Niamh Flanagan’s prints depict a world of abstracted landscapes and cityscapes telling fragments of stories, showing the unseen, the hidden and the unreal as they lurk beneath turbulent skies.
Niamh Flanagan graduated from Fine Art Print at the National College of Art and Design. She became a member of Graphic Studio Dublin in 2004, where she now also works as Projects Manager and Master Printer. She has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally and her work is in the collections of the Office of Public Works, The Law Society of Ireland, the Chester Beatty Library, the British Library and the National Gallery of Ireland.
Niamh Flanagan’s work explores the search for utopias within our world, and the restless desire to be somewhere else. She uses visual elements of the landscapes around her; both urban and rural, internal and external, to describe this search for something that is perhaps unattainable. The world spins, the seasons change, they change back again; and we dream and spin and dream again.

Susan Early is an Architect & Printmaker. She became a member of Graphic Studio Dublin in 2012 where she now works as Studio Administrator. She makes etchings in drypoint and aquatint and has exhibited nationally and in Europe, Canada and the USA. Her work features in private and public collections including Fingal County Council, University of Limerick, Office of Public Works and National Botanic Gardens.
Susan’s printmaking is informed by drawings and photographs of familiar elements in Irish landscapes. Structures, buildings and the landscape topography, studied against context, are explored. The built and natural environment defined by the sea is of particular interest and includes studies of ships, lighthouses and other built landmarks.

Aoife Scott – ‘New Impressions’, Ground Floor Gallery, Draíocht, Until 30 May 2020
Artist Statement: “As an artist my ambition is to use beauty as a call to action. Each piece of plastic or rubbish I collect has a story to tell in its connection to human life and what we leave behind us. One can tell the story of a culture obsessed by convenience and infected by greed. Colourful bottle lids, lost toys, small objects of every description are presented in the work as objects of desire with a dark undertone as to what we have done and are doing to the environment and our ecosystems!”
An avid outdoor adventurer and lover of nature, Aoife Scott feels a great responsibility as an artist to act, react and protect. The deep-seated disquiet the artist feels about the current environmental crisis and the greed and consumerist society we are currently living in, is the main focus of her practice. The artist is starting a visual conversation which expresses her anxiety and frustration around our throw-away society and the print we are leaving on the planet. If she can start a visual conversation about society’s obsession with producing more and more glossy throwaway “must have items” which become the toxic floating islands in our seas and fill up our ever-growing landfills, then that is a start.
