Lead Me Nowhere A5 Risograph Print
An edition of A5 Risograph prints made in the UK, 2023.
This print is inspired by the soft ochre grasslands of Mount Subasio in Italy. A place Georgia spent a month walking through in late 2020, following the pilgrim trail of St Francis of Assisi.
Printed at a standard A5 size Lead Me Nowhere is designed to work with off the shelf frames so you can get it up on your wall with minimal cost and maximum efficiency! The edition was created using sustainable, soya-based Risograph printing techniques and is wrapped in 100% biodegradable and recycled packaging.
Since graduating with a BA in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking from Glasgow School of Art in 2018 Georgia has championed sustainable printmaking processes such as risography, a mechanised form of stencil printing with a more climate conscious appeal than its traditional or digital counterparts.
While she primarily uses contemporary mediums of replication within her practice, Georgia’s knowledge of traditional printmaking strongly informs her mark-making processes. With each new edition she generates an organic and intuitive creative dialogue, designed to challenge the stereotypical view of risography as a ‘pop’ or ‘kitsch’ medium. Through this exchange she highlights the subtle possibilities of colour and texture that can be achieved using sustainable soya-based inks, bridging the divide between fine art duplication and more accessible printmaking mediums.
A Riso machine is a stencil duplicator similar to silkscreen in nature. The Riso prints one colour at a time in bright, vibrant hues to create rich overlays of grainy texture. Each print is slightly different with the layer registration and ink coverage, making them fall within the original print category.
