“Elisabeth Cummings: From a Well Deep Within’ celebrates the rich and intuitive print practice of renowned Australian artist Elisabeth Cummings. Recognised as one of Australia’s preeminent painters, the exhibition looks at Cummings’ expansion into printmaking over a 20-year period (2001-2023).
Brought together through conversations with Curatorial Advisor, Michael Kempson – the artist’s longtime collaborator, master printer and founder of Cicada Press – the exhibition presents a rich collection of etchings and monotypes. It also includes Cummings’ early experiments in printmaking at East Sydney Tech (National Art School), working with artist and master printer, Diana Davidson from Whaling Road Studio.
The exhibition celebrates Cummings’ deeply intuitive practice in response to her surroundings. An avid traveler and curious observer, the prints feature subjects from vibrant and remote travel destinations and landscapes to intimate scenes of the Wedderburn bush and Cummings’ home studio.” (Source)
