“Bravo! Martin and Mike have resurrected the traditional woodcut in Chelsea. The exhibition evoked in me sensations of pure visual pleasure. However, it has left me on a quest to unearth why this printmaking tradition is becoming extinct. ” -Amy Misurelli Sorensen

David Krut Print Workshop launches new portfolio of prints: response by Nathaniel Stern
Multimedia artist, Nathaniel Stern moves without hesitation into the unfamiliar ground of traditional printmaking in his new portfolio series – response. Stern has exhibited internationally, with critical acclaim for his installations in New York and Australia, and has won the fondness of the South African public for his collaborative physical theatre and extensive multimedia performance work.
Stern’s ongoing body of work entitled Compressionism can be described as a ‘digital performance and analogue archive’. ‘I literally compress bodies, spaces and objects by transversing their surfaces with an image scanner, tracing varying 3-dimensional paths. I might scan in straight lines across tables, tie the scanner around my neck and swing over flowers, do pogo-like gestures over bricks, or just follow the wind over lilies.’ Stern
With the resultant digital images, Stern approached printmaker Jillian Ross at the David Krut Print Workshop, with the idea of interpreting the images through new media. Their experimental collaboration grew into a year-long project resulting in a magnetic body of work, a special selection of which is proudly featured in this portfolio box set.
response comprises six prints and a digitally printed colophon page housed in an archival box. The original prints explore technical processes, etching, engraving, monotype, chine collé, polyester plate lithography, aquatint and carborundum.
