Throughout August and September we hosted two graduates from the University of Leeds on a residency to develop ideas in their printmaking practice. This exhibition showcases the work produced over the residency.
Ella Georgiou uses sound in conjunction with printmaking, her practice is process and experience based. She uses technology alongside traditional intaglio printmaking techniques to develop works that spark sonic contemplation, to consider spaces and their hidden sounds. Through extracting background noise and the indistinguishable sound of printmaking processes, Ella creates multichannel audio pieces emphasising and manipulating those often-ignored sounds. Aiming to place the viewer within a sonic experience in which they can feel an almost tangible presence.
Ella seeks to shift the perception of sound, to take interest in the unremarkable hum that continually occurs. Drawing and printmaking are used as a vessel of physical translation from silence, into sound, into the visual realm.
