My fellowship at Digswell with several other artists, all with unique approaches and disciplines is inspiring and it’s encouraging me to continue to work towards my goals.

Amy Wilson

Being a print member at Digswell has made me more focused. The print room is a great space to work in. It’s inspiring to see other artists working – and they’re all lovely!

Jonathan Emmerson

Digswell has given me the opportunity to immerse myself in my art practice in a way that I would not have been able to otherwise. It has given me some space to develop.

Repost from @printmakerscouncil

‘Joined up I’, photopolymer etching, monoprint and stitch on paper by our Featured Artist, Sally Tyrie.

Sally is a Fine Artist who works predominantly with printmaking, mixed media and photography. She says of her work that in the print room she tends to be drawn more to techniques that allow ‘chance’ and ‘accident’. For instance, painterly printmaking processes such as multi layered mono print and collagraph. In her studio she then likes to incorporate methods of deconstruction and assemblage. Multi layered juxtapositions using collage and stitch ‘as a way to examine, reinterpret and reimagine’. Bring a sense of the uncanny and alter ‘ways of seeing’ .

Artwork by Digswell Arts fellow Suman Gujral #rep $Artwork by Digswell Arts fellow Suman Gujral #repost • @fendittongallery Fractured Earth Suman Gujral Etching with foul bite To celebrate #EarthDay we thought we’d share this poignant work by Suman Gujral Suman Gujral’s work meditates on universal issues – joy, sorrow, struggle and human resilience, feeling her role as an artist is to cast light onto difficult issues and generate discussion through her visual work and poetry. This work shows the border between India and West Pakistan, imposed in 1947. This partition resulted in untold millions being forcibly displaced and killed. Gujral’s own family fled their childhood homes and never returned. The border has been reversed to become a symbol for all the borders put up to divide and displace people. Gujral completed an MA in Fine Arts, University of Hertfordshire in 2018 and Advanced Certificate in Printmaking from the Curwen Print Studio in 2015. She is a member of the Printmaker’s Council and Digswell Print. This work was shortlisted for the Contemporary Printmaking Prize and is exhibited at the gallery until Sunday 16th May.
