A Subantarctic Odyssey - Prints inspired by the Southern Ocean
Kathy Reilly
In 2021, Kathy voyaged through the remote subantarctic islands of the Southern Ocean, recording the astonishing fauna, flora and landscapes. The experience inspired a new body of work and a more experimental approach to her artmaking. This series brings together a range of printmaking techniques, often layered into hybrid prints, to evoke the vast ocean, the lonely yet raucously inhabited islands, the wildlife and the vivid megaherbs. Some works etched in meticulous detail, others emerging through gestural monoprints and collagraphs.
