ARTIST STATEMENT

The plants, the press and the process is a collaborative experiment between artists Ali Noble and Brigitta Summers. The artists work with each other, the plant life found on Sydney University campus, the SCA print room press, and, finally, with the vagaries of artistic ‘process’ itself. 

The artists present a trilogy where each of them has made a work individually, the third and final work being a collaborative effort. Here you see the influences and interplay of Modernism, plant aesthetics and ‘thinking through touch.’
