Mousehold Heath A3 Risograph Print

An edition of A3 risograph prints made in the UK, 2020.

This edition was designed and produced under the COVID-19 lockdown. It responds to the vivid and iconic local flora, fauna and folklore surrounding Norfolk in the South East of England. In each 'Lockdown' print dreamscapes and landscapes collide; people and interiors soften into hyper-bright plant and bird motifs; anthropomorphic forms dissolve into something delightfully primitive and hopeful. Here memory exists as colour alone, illuminated by the chimerical tangle of curiosity and longing that prompts each print.

This entire edition of 50 prints was created using sustainable, soya-based risograph printing techniques and is wrapped in 100% biodegradable and recycled packaging.
Printed at a standard A3 size this work is designed to work with off the shelf frames so you can get it up on your wall with minimal cost and maximum efficiency!

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.
