a public fax forum: new work by Sarah Phelan

Wednesday 4th May - Saturday 11th June 2022
Mon - Sat 10am-5pm, free entry

Sarah Phelan presents a new body of work created during her time as artist-in-residence at Out of the Blueprint.

Over the past three months, Sarah has been exploring the capabilities and alternative uses of fax technologies as a means of making experimental riso prints. From utilising the B&W aesthetic properties of thermal paper and the way it repels the riso’s rice-based ink, to distortions of reproducing images via a paper feed and the build-up of a dense layering of colours from the riso machine, Sarah has found new ways of creating and archiving forms.

Visitors are invited to make their own mark on the exhibition through the medium of fax.

Launch party
6-8pm Wednesday 4th May, all welcome.
