Well here is a view of my studio during the printing of the edition for SSNW. Did I mention how awesome my press that R. built is?
As I mentioned before I have done my take on the Pandora myth. Poor old Pandora, letting loose the ills of the world, I’ve taken the angle of making the ills quite phallic and leaving Pandora smiling slightly as if this is her own private joke. I’ve not portrayed hope, but left Pandora naked to show that woman is hope.
Ok look it’s a bit art wank to read all those layers in, and I’m not particularly good at that kind of layered meaning, but poor old Pandora was given a bum steer. Seriously given an urn that not mortal could resist opening?
Here is the final pic!
Now on with the rats for the baren exchange- gosh there is 60 of those~!
I’d better get to it!
Hi! Great studio space you have happening there. Lovely to ‘meet’ another Melbourne printmaker. Thanks for your sweet comments left on my blog at

I love the print BTW. The colour you’ve chosen is just perfect.
Gorgeous print! Poor Pandora indeed. Hmph. Love the pic of your studio space – I can only hope that mine will be that nice someday… Good luck with you upcoming weaving class!! Have tons of fun!
Well this is a joy to visit. Graphics and watercolour and all of it so good. And you have a press! I try monoprints, liftprints, linocuts etc but no press so mostly not so hot prints. Enjoyed my visit.
I don’t knwo what SSNW is. I like your image very much. What sort of print is it?
