Whilst grounded in the disciplines of drawing and painting, Christine Wylie’s formal investigation into the arrangement of monochromatic space has led her to concentrate almost exclusively on the study of printmaking.
Her series of photogravure prints is the culmination of a process-based methodology, where self-constructed geometric compositions are photographed under natural light and processed into etchings using solar plates. The resulting images, imbued with subtlety and softness, suggest presence and absence, space and non-space.
Graduating from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA (Drawing and Painting) and an MFA (Art, Space & Nature), she has participated in several residences, initiated a collective artwork publication, and works extensively with academic institutions and artists societies.
