Thinking of Place
The first Thinking of Place collection invited artists to respond to the theme by creating print media works that reflected their connections to country, land, ancestral links, colonisation, regional and cultural identities, natural and built environments, or even imagined locations that they identified with.
The project included artists from North Island Printmakers and Te Wai Pounamu Printmakers (South Island) from New Zealand, and InkMasters Cairns, Goldfields Printmakers and Melbourne Printmakers Group from Australia.
