In its fourth year, Editions has evolved into an exhibition that celebrates the excellence of Victorian-based printmakers in all their diversity. But it also challenges audiences of their expectations of the art form by widening the scope, subject, cultural references and content. The exhibition includes contemporary techniques and approaches alongside more traditional work. We also add into the mix emerging as well as more experienced printmakers.
