Tara Chittenden is a woodblock printmaker whose work explores the sensory and temporal qualities of landscape, light, and material process. Drawing on Japanese printmaking traditions and layered inking techniques, she creates atmospheric prints that evoke the movement of time across space — from vast skies and changing weather to the subtle transitions of shadow. Tara’s submitted prints, made during an artist residency at Kindred House in Margate, explores interior spaces and the way light shifts through a house over the course of a day. Inspired by Jun'ichir? Tanizaki’s In Praise of Shadows, these prints investigate shadow as a way of marking time and memory, revealing the quiet drama of textured surfaces and falling light. Tara works in monoprints and small variable editions, allowing each impression to respond to the evolving conditions she observes. Whether printing sculptural trees or light drifting across a hallway wall, her process is rooted in sustained attention and a deep love of printmaking as a craft. Tara has exhibited at shows including the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair (2022) and Woolwich Director’s Cut (2024), and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2020, 2021, 2022, 2025).
