Mark Tweedie’s work looks for wonder in the smallness of earthly things and our relationship with the terrestrial, and also in the enormous grandeur of the night sky. The majority or his work originates as photographs but he prefers to print using hand-inked photopolymer plates finding that the slower, more physical method of working and the depth of the prints it creates, embodies and portrays a sense of wonder better than other methods. Tweedie’s current work “Raw Sky” (which was recently showcased in a duo show at Rugby Art gallery) uses his deep space astronomical imagery, printed as photogravures, a marriage of hi- and low-tech. Tweedie is a self-taught printmaker and astronomer who won the Derby Print Open People’s Choice award in 2024. His work is held in private collections worldwide, and he has photographs in the Royal Photographic Society permanent collection.
