Amanda Floyd - Euclide 2003/2004

Euclide 2003/04

22 June - 11 July

 

 

My work takes place at the intersection between art, design, fashion and craft. In its various guises printmaking/printing has moved between these boundaries and this has informed my art making practice. Euclide 2003/4 consists of floor-to-ceiling woodblock prints on thermal fabric - a contemporary interpretation of the form and function of tapestries, which in terms of printmaking history were a precursor to printed wallpaper. The large scale of the Euclide collection goes beyond functionalism and envelops the viewer in a field of colour, pattern and movement. Euclide 2003/4 fuses the aesthetic and the utilitarian and raises questions about the values we attach to form and function.
