In this episode Miranda speaks with Brian Robinson, a Torres Strait Islander printmaker who currently lives in Cairns, Queensland. Brian works in large scale relief prints, on average measuring one by two meters and each centimetre is filled with a dense iconography of colonial history, pop culture, and traditional Torres Strait Islander motifs. So in other words, he works big and thinks big, all with a playful lightness of being. We talk about his practice of interweaving images of pop culture with traditional carving motifs, how his relief prints influence his sculptural practice, and using a linocut to create the Parade Track for the 2017 Commonwealth Games. creative move brisbane http://creativemove.com.au/ onespace gallery https://onespacegallery.com.au/ mossenson galleries http://mossensongalleries.com.au/ SAVE DOX THRASH'S HOUSE ioby.org/project/save-historic-dox-thrash-house Shop Talk www.patreon.com/helloprintfriend YOUTUBE www.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouw MERCH www.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriend WEBSITE www.helloprintfriend.com instagram www.instagram.com/helloprintfriend print gallery helloprintfriend.com/print-gallery ✨patreon✨ www.patreon.com/helloprintfriend Our sponsor Speedball www.speedballart.com

Dox (1893-1965) was the co-inventory of the mezzotint carborundum process, the first African American to be hired at the Fine Print Shop of Philadelphia, and a pillar of the arts community.

We talk about the systems in place to make us consumerist zombies, end of life care, and the destruction of the earth, but also the incredible transformative power of art, the mind-expanding experience of travel, and little children in Honduras befriending a frog in one of Joy’s murals.

In this episode Miranda speaks with Australian artist Rona Green.

In this episode Miranda speaks with Jenny Robinson about her childhood growing up in Borneo and when the colours and warmth of the equator came to an abrupt end after she was shipped off to a Catholic boarding school in England. While that displacement may have been the greatest culture shock of her life, globe-trotting remains a big part of who she is. She spent years in her twenties traveling around India and Southeast Asia and doing it all solo after ditching her ex-boyfriend at the Bombay train station two weeks into the trip. Robinson also talks about her deep printmaker pride, her love of paper and inks, and goes into detail as to how she developed a drypoint method that allows her to work very large and on a budget.
