Gallery 2.1 | Free

Over one inspiring year, local artist collective Capricornia Printmakers embarked on a transformative journey of selecting and responding to artworks from the Rockhampton Museum of Art Collection including works by Eduardo Paolozzi, Max Lovell, Peter Blake, and Lesbia Thorpe. This served as both mentor and muse, prompting each printmaker to create their unique blend of tradition whilst also pushing boundaries by embracing new materials, techniques, and technologies; expanding the possibilities of printmaking and creating an innovative artistic dialogue with the Collection and their artist peers.
