Environmental Audit

Community & Context presents the work of local and national Australian artists who

have employed print practices to realise their diverse intentions. Drawn together in their

curiosity about the boundaries of the printed image, they consider the possibility of print

in an expanded field. Each artist explores the significance of print in the context of

contemporary art and design, and printmaking’s relationship to text and spatial

practices. Many of the artists address printmaking’s historical association with book

production and design, and all have a keen sense of the common visual sensibilities

and intentions that might define or draw a community of artists together.
