Tracey Hill

£0.00

Tracy Hill studied Fine Art at Bournville School of Art, Birmingham, Sheffield Hallam University and The University of Central Lancashire, Preston. She is the joint research lead of the Artlab Contemporary Print Studios at the University of Central Lancashire, which tests the relevance of printmaking in contemporary, mainstream art by innovation and expanding print practice through a process of continuing collaborative dialogues with artists. Her cross-disciplinary practice investigates and reconsiders the relationship between our developing digital capabilities and the aesthetics of the traditional hand created mark.

Tracy is currently working with Dr Nazmul Karim at the CFPR to undertake innovative material and technological investigations to combine traditional printmaking with the super conductive possibilities of Graphene. Utilising digital laser cutting tools and hand cutting, a series of woodblock plates will be printed in combination with layers of screen printed graphene, creating a print containing the possibility to conduct energy when touched with a human hand. The intention is to create an editioned print, which has the potential to engage a viewer through visual, sonic and sensory experiences. The aim is to demonstrate the potential of combining traditional and novel print processes to challenge perceptions of the printed image as being purely visual. To propose the concept that vision should be regarded as an extension of touch, in collaboration with other senses to fully understand the world.

Tracy was a keynote speaker at the IMPACT 12 Multidisciplinary Printmaking Conference in September 2022. View Tracy's talk Letters to the Void below.
