Making Your Mark - A Scottish Printmaking Heritage Outreach Project is an exciting new venture brought to life by Glasgow Print Studio which aims to introduce new audiences to the wealth of Scottish printmaking heritage, through exhibitions, storytelling, discussion & practical hands on sessions. In partnership with Glasgow Life and with support from The William Grant Foundation the project will explore ways to use the Archive in engaging activities and raise awareness of this rich cultural resource.One of my works from the GPS Archive, "If North Was South And East Was West" was shown in a exhibition in Partick Library from 22 March to 30 June 2016.

My work selected for the show (If North Was South and East Was West)reflects an ongoing research into maps and mapping and challenges the idea of accepted norms of geographic representation. It literally attempts to turn the world upside down in an attempt to engage the viewer in a different way of looking at the world. The etching deliberately utilises an archaic technique and laborious process to try to construct a novel image but with the addition of the hand colouring adds an idiosyncratic personal mark.
