Process Residency
Black Church Process resident 2019/2020
Black Church Process is a Studio initiative that invites leading art practitioners from other art disciplines to work with the resources of the print studio. This programme offers an insight into the potential of printmaking while promoting and positioning it within contemporary art practice. The projects are intended to be an exploratory process, initiated by the artist’s vision, and facilitated by the skills and experience of a dedicated printmaking team of master printmakers and print coordinators. Artists are encouraged to explore the various possibilities that printmaking present to them. The collaboration between artist and studio aims to give the practitioner a comprehensive understanding of the processes and concepts of this art form and to lead to new and exciting directions in their practice.

This has been possible with the help of their technician David and the collaboration of the Master printmaker and member artist Louise Peat, whom has been assisting/collaborating with me since the first day I started to use the facilities. Louise has generously shared her conceptual and practical knowledge on the techniques, and the work being experimented in Black Church Print Studio couldn’t have happen without her support.

From the Artist
After her death, her sons handed the letter over to the National Gallery, together with a few sheets of negatives that document the paintings Webb made in her lifetime. Workmen, sailors, still lifes, a donkey, portraits of family members – father, husband, children, grandchildren. So she did not abandon art, not entirely. Although the historical status of the letter’s author is primarily why the National Gallery acquired Webb’s effects, the assimilation of her papers into the archive brought an unexpected story about the ordinariness of being an artist. For my print with Black Church Print Studio we have received permission from the Webb family to reproduce the letter as an etching, along with an inverse digital print of a negative from the file that reveals a portrait of Webb as an art student, and a present day photograph of the file in context. The prints form a portfolio that will be deposited in the CSIA archive where it will exist for posterity
alongside the originals.
