The Fabric of Memory by Annie Fforde
Opening and Open Studio: Fri 1st Nov , 5pm – 8pm
South Square, Plenty at the Square
Running: 1st Nov 24 – 31st Jan 25
A fabric of memory is a series of monotype and etching prints based on fabric ‘scrim’ used often in the print studio to clean ink off the metal plates. The experience of the fabric retaining it’s innate shape when flattened or pressed reflects our ability to make connections between the real or imaginary memories. The structure of the fabric remains unchanged but the process it undergoes with multiple colours changes it’s appearance over time, reflecting our own interpretations of memories.
All works are original prints using lithographic or etching inks on specialised etching papers. Created in Studio 4, South Square Centre, Thornton..or WYPW. Mirfield.
