Jake Garfield, a Brighton student talks to 1ina100 about three works recently exhibited in Altared and Grammar, Nonsense and Imagination:

"An important part of my work is about maintaining the materiality of the process or medium I’m using. In Foundation, the marks are made as much from scratching away as applying to the lithographic stone, so the image is built – not just layed on. Similarly, It’s Been Emotional is printed with an uneven border left on the woodblock, exposing the grain and reminding us that the print is an object with it’s own history, not a flat image.

By flyposting How Could You Do This To Me? to a wall the preciousness of the Japanese tissue it is printed onto is undermined, and its fragility foregrounded. The print is given the life-span of the show because there’s no way of removing it without destroying it."
