Etchings from Copper Plates by Kyoko Imazu and Damon Kowarski
Kyoko Imazu and Damon Kowarsky have worked together since 2010. Their prints are made using a simple collaborative system. Damon gives Kyoko a drawing, to which Kyoko adds her own interpretations. The resulting image is then etched onto copper plates and printed by hand. Together, they have produced works of great subtlety, variety and humour exploring themes such as nature, science, art and technology.
The prints in this exhibition grew out of the zine “Talking of a Chameleon”, which was made in response to a zine commission by IMPRINT magazine in March 2011. Since then, the zine has been part of fairs in London, Perth and the Czech Republic.
Yoko Imazu holds a Bachelor of Fine Art in Printmaking, a Diploma of Visual Arts, and a Certificate in Foundation Studies Art in Design and Communication, all from RMIT in Melbourne. Damon Kowarsky studied printmaking at the Victoria College of the Arts (VCA) and Glasgow School of Art, and Advanced Figure Drawing at RMIT. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Art, Honors, in Printmaking from VCA.
