JUMPING INTO NATION'S PARTY

JUMPING INTO NATION'S PARTY

Collaged by the artist over re-prints of British caricaturist and printer James Gillray. Printed in an edition of 30 (plus proofs) by APW Printers Martin King and Simon White at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, 2016. Hand coloured by the artist and studio assistants Trent Walter and Jaime Powell.

This work was produced as part of Australian Print Workshop’s ANTIPODES project in collaboration with the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, Cambridge

As the artist explains: ‘This series was
