Hard Pressed Wood Cut Print Project

About the Project

The Hard Pressed Exhibition at the Cannery Art Centre, curated by Geraldton artist Lizzy Robinson, was the culmination of a fantastic project that Esperance Community Arts had the opportunity to be part of. A large-scale wood cut entitled ‘ Where the Water Lies like a Boomerang (Kepa Kurl)’ was created by 6 local artists as part of a two-day workshop with Lizzy in May 2017 at Esperance Community Arts Space. The wood cut travelled to Geraldton and a print was made and exhibited along with many others created during the project. These community works were exhibited, along side works by individual artists, in Geraldton, Esperance and Fremantle. This was a fantastic project that helped to build connections across regions. The original woodcuts have been returned to their communities. The Esperance work is now on display and will be printed again to create a range of new, smaller artworks that can be reproduced.
