The course stems from a passion for patterns. When you look, they can be found everywhere. Whether they are in the shadows, cutting darkly and sharply through a chain-link fence or falling and splicing through a building designed by Carlo Scarpa, the tiles of your kitchen or bathroom floor, symbolic patterns, visual language, the clothes you dress in now or in years gone by, the wallpaper pasted on your walls...
We will begin by sharing image references and discovering patterns throughout art history: Katsushika ōi, Mary Cassatt, Jade Fadojutimi, Hilma Af Klimt, Toyin Ojih Odutola, and Kiki Kogelnik, to name a few. We will explore exciting new mark-making techniques and allow fresh and unexpected gestures and marks to happen, building our patterned languages.
As a student, you are asked to bring a drawing or a pattern that means something to you personally. It could be a pattern or print from the culture you grew up in or where you find yourself now. It could also be a pattern you like or one that expresses how you feel. Through your chosen making processes, you will find yourself inking, printing, carving, scraping, adding, erasing and repeating to achieve unexpected and exciting results.
By introducing various experimental printmaking methods, we will explore the seemingly endless possibilities of working with an explorative approach to printmaking, allowing each participant to incorporate these approaches in the way that best suits them. The nature of the print studio is stimulating, prolific and intensive. We will work in a hands-on, energetic team environment and have group discussions, exchanging ideas and encouraging our work to evolve. We will not focus on perfecting classical techniques but explore exciting new experimental printmaking techniques with the added elements of drawing and collage.
Hannah Tilson (born in 1995) lives and works in London. She graduated BA from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2018, studied on exchange at the New York Studio School and graduated from a postgraduate scholarship course at the Royal Drawing School in 2021. Tilson was artist in residence at Palazzo Monti in September 2022 and long-listed for the Ruth Borchard Self‑Portrait Prize in 2021. Tilson works in a variety of media: painting, mixing raw pigments and binder, drawing, printmaking and embroidering. Building up layers of translucent and opaque colours, concealing and revealing parts of the image, Tilson camouflages herself in vibrating and fragmented spaces filled with patterns. She views her body and the fabrics encompassing her as a landscape/pattern of rhythmic and geometric forms. The figure disappears and reappears, sometimes being completely swallowed up by the fabrics and other times; a hand or a shoe surfaces, taking the viewer closer to their own reality. The ambiguous shapes become a changeable part of this layered world, allowing the viewer to question what they see. In this fast-moving, turbulent space, abstracted through the pattern lens, something seems familiar, yet abstract…Everything is not as it seems.
