Edition Three

Showcasing the diversity of expanded printmaking, Edition Three  seeks to spotlight experimentation as a methodology within etching, linocut, serigraphy, and monoprinting. This group exhibition features emerging women artists from across Sydney, celebrating contemporary printmaking practice and the versatility of print-related media in both focused and cross-disciplinary practices. 

Affinities between methods and practices prevail throughout the exhibition, building upon printmaking traditions to create new layers of meaning that bridge the present with the past. Emerging from the exhibition is a sense of connectedness, not through a linear inheritance or relationship, but developed through a sharing of knowledge, material processes and tradition.

Edition Three is the third exhibition in More Than Reproduction’s Edition series, a group of shows that spotlight the artists within their community in celebration of International Women’s Day. The artists in the exhibition are comprised of More Than Reproduction’s profiled artists and those with a connection to South-West Sydney, where Bankstown Arts Centre is situated.

More Than Reproduction is a Sydney-based artist-run initiative (ARI) for emerging creatives with a passion for all things printmaking. Established in March 2019, MTR produces monthly online artist profiles, interviewing emerging printmakers across Australia, as well as regularly curating group exhibitions. More Than Reproduction seeks to provide a platform for women in printmaking to have their voice heard and thrive. 

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land of which More Than Reproduction was founded and operates. We would also like to acknowledge the traditional owners, the Cabrogal of the Darug Nation, and their Country on which Bankstown Arts Centre stands. We extend our respects to all First Nations people, acknowledging that sovereignty was never ceded, and would like to pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
