Sally Tyrie’s selected work ‘Culpable’ is a monoprint collage and stitch on found book pages. Sally’s work responds to research on the victorian naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Originally made for’ Wallace 100′ the prints seek to ‘give voice’ to his ideals, hopes and fears along with ideas to do with history and censorship.

Mary Down has had two works selected: ‘Easter Island – Moai’ and ‘Not Waving but Drowning’, both are one off relief prints with a framed size of 73 x 53 cms.
