Ahead of the 2023–24 Grey-headed flying fox pup season, for our 40x40 print for The Australian Print Workshop (APW), we drew, upon the plate, with an embroidery needle, Remy and Pip, the first two orphaned pups we raised (in the 2021–22 season).
About the work
Pollinators, Remy & Pip
APW 40x40 is a monumental survey of contemporary Australian printmaking bringing together 40 leading contemporary Australian artists who share an important and long-standing creative relationship with Australian Print Workshop.
To mark APW's 40th Anniversary (reached during COVID lockdown in 2021) each artist was invited to collaborate with APW Printers to create a new artwork in the print medium.
Showcasing the beauty and diversity of printmaking, each original print has been skilfully hand-printed by APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, in 2022–2023. Each work has been printed in a limited edition of 40 (plus proofs) on BFK 250gsm paper.
This work was produced with APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, as part of 40 x 40. (Photograph by Matthew Stanton)
