Printing the Storied Landscape: An Expanded Field of Printmaking that takes account of the Space, Constructedness and the Temporalities of Place'

Scotland has a storied landscape, and this paper will consider the use of print in the exploration of its complexities. I will focus primarily on my arts practice-based, multi-disciplinary doctoral research which was about some of the forests of Scotland, and how we, as artists, might approach place as multi-sensorial, made and containing complicated and long-term ecological and social histories. I will discuss how the use of print has been an important medium for exploration and assisted the conceptual ideas behind my work, as well as how I have utilised an expanded field of print that includes not only etchings, lithographs, screenprints and artists books, but also incorporates video, sound and sculptural works
