An exhibition of monoprints by Inka Member Chris Kerruish starts today...
Entitled 'The Lost History', Inka Gallery is proud to present this nostalgic exhibition of framed and unframed works. Read a little about the artist's history and the technique that has influenced her...
The Lost History
This technique of printing was perfected by American Artist Robert Rauschenberg in the 1960’s. I am interested in history and our own personal pasts – what makes us who we are. We carry our past with us constantly, like a second skin, and in turn are both comforted and haunted by it.
The printing technique offers a faded, disintegrated quality and my images are of things that no longer exist. The house my father inherited from his Grandfather which last year burnt to the ground. A piece of chintz from my Grandmother’s couch, the last pieces of china inherited from my Great Grandmother. All are references to time passing and a world that is vanishing.
The work is printed on rice paper which has its own transient qualities.
