CAROLINE CASE
Caroline is a printmaker based in Bristol. She is a member of Spike Print Studio at Spike Island.
For the Migration exhibition in October 2020 she worked using two mediums, relief prints, and clay to explore the theme.
Making woodcuts is the oldest printing method. I am drawn to the slow process that woodcut production involves when working with several colours letting the next stage of any one block take shape in my mind. I am drawn to the physicality of the whole process, starting with watercolours, using tools and knives, the smell of paint and ink. You cannot go back with the reduction process; any 'mistake' has to be worked with and at the end you are free to start a new print as you cannot ever print it again.
I explored the theme of Migration, by making relief prints about Mexico, drawn by the colours, and movement of people and animals. I also made a series of clay vessels, which were a free floating response to migration at sea, borne by water. Working with clay can be immediate, plastic and flexible, responsive to the lightest touch and transformed by fire.
Caroline is a retired art psychotherapist and child psychotherapist and is a writer about art therapy. Her publications are listed on her website.
