JODIE WINGHAM
I am an artist who challenges the constructs of Printmaking through an investigation into the nature of looking. Inspired by the act of observing others and the audiences’ enjoyment of this process I focus on the viewers desire to gain information, revealing something not usually seen, a glimpse into the hidden.
My recent body of work explores the photographic Mokulito print, using my own research and experimentation as a printmaker I have developed a technique to achieve the detailed wood grain washes associated with the process using a photograph as a starting reference. This body of work looks at body language and how we can read gestures, focusing on the documentation of hands as visual signals. My passion for printmaking drives me to explore new techniques and materials looking at cross disciplinary research, how print can be taken into other areas and how exciting this can be.
Since Graduating my work has been selected for shows across the United Kingdom, I was runner up in the Woman in Art Prize, 2023, and shortlisted for the Great British art prize in association with Artists and Illustrators Magazine exhibiting at the OXO gallery (2022). I was selected for The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, 2021, one of 12 artists selected for The Flourish Award, a touring exhibition celebrating excellence in printmaking and provided Arts Council Funding for my DYCP project looking at photopolymer printmaking.
