Working across printmaking and installation, Lizzie Munn’s practice adopts analogue processes which distance the hand. Maintaining a somewhat unorthodox attitude to printmaking, Munn generates sequences of monotypes to be employed as units of material matter in an expansive form of image making. Data and information absorbed from the world is processed through this repetitive act of making, embodied in the meditative movements of rolling and pressing. Her attentive approach allows relationships to form through colour, surface and volume. Paper becomes object, to be overlaid and rearranged, constructing modular print-based installations which are shaped by their environment.
