For Jo peeling back the paper from the plate is a magical moment, the big reveal; the answer to the question, the prompting of more questions. This is what fascinates her about printmaking and why she chooses to explore her core themes of place and place connection through printmaking.
Human desire to exert control over the landscape and nature’s possibility of evading that control is fascinating, particularly in the context of a forest managed for timber production which has been Jo’s focus for the past two years while undertaking an MA in Fine Art at UAL Central Saint Martins.
The technical side of printmaking requires patience and practise, yet it is an artform which lends itself to experimentation. At the core of Jo’s practice is a deep-rooted desire to experiment, explore and ask ‘what happens if…?’. Experimenting with a range of techniques leads to one informing another and prompting new ideas. This leads to new ways of looking at the landscape and so process and experience become cyclical.
Jo won the Lucie Green Printmakers Prize at Southbank Printmakers Mini Print show in 2021 and has exhibited in the UK and Japan including 2021, 2022 and 2023 at WCPF.
