Carla Garnet, Guest Curator
Viewed as an installation this selection of fifteen prints playfully reveals the double potential of images to operate both as abstract signs and as representational pictures encoded with history by showcasing Levine, Heywood, Tamasauskas and Klunder’s engagement with early 20th century collage strategies, colour, technique and the possibilities of pressing ink on paper.
