Remote Printmaking Workshops, Australia

Since arriving in the Northern Territory (N.T.) in 2007, Jacqueline has travelled extensively across the territory delivering remote printmaking workshops and collaborating with artists at First Nations Art Centres.

She has also travelled to Western Australia (W.A.) and Queensland (QLD) and has worked with some of Australia’s foremost First Nation artists as well as young upcoming artists. Many of the works Jacqueline collaborated on as a Master Printer and editioned, now lie in interstate collections.

Some of the Art Centres she has worked at in the N.T. are Buku Larrnggay Mulka Centre, Bula’Bula Arts, Babbarra Women’s Centre, Jilamara Arts and Crafts Association, Munupi Aboriginal Arts and Crafts Association, Tiwi Design, Waralungku Arts, and Bindi Mwerre Anthurre Artists. In W.A. she has worked with Warringarri Arts, Kira Kiro Art Centre and Warlyirti Artists. In QLD she travelled to Mirndiyan Gununa Aboriginal Corporation on Mornington Island to work with Sally Gabori and other Bentinck and Mornington Island artists.

In 2007, Jacqueline introduced mokuhanga to artists at Buku Larrnggay Mulka Centre, Arnhem Land, which resulted in an exhibition at the outdoor Gapan Gallery during the 2007 Garma Festival.

In 2010, the exhibition ‘Tiwi Shima’ took place at Northern Editions Gallery, Charles Darwin University. This was the result of four mokuhanga workshops Jacqueline carried out with artists from Tiwi Islands. The exhibition then travelled to Nomad Art Canberra, as part of the seventh Australian Print Symposium and in 2011 to Japan as part of the Inaugural International Mokuhanga Conference.

In 2012, Jacqueline collaborated with Tiwi artists Jean Baptiste Apuatimi and her daughter Maria Josette Orsto. This resulted in the dynamic exhibition of large-scale intaglio prints, Maternal Lines, which also showcased three-dimensional etchings created by Apuatimi and sewn together with natural thread by Orsto.

In 2013, Jacqueline travelled to Wirrimanu (Balgo), a remote community in the southeast Kimberley in W.A. with two other printers to work with senior female artists in intaglio and senior male artists in mokuhanga at Warlayirti Art Centre. Over the course of a week in extremely hot, dusty and windblown conditions, the artists and printers worked to create a series of images, which were exhibited at Nan Geise Gallery, Charles Darwin University. Jacqueline presented a joint paper about the mokuhanga part of the project at the 2014 International Mokuhanga Conference, Tokyo University of the Arts, which was subsequently published in UK magazine Printmaking Today.

Most recently Jacqueline has worked with artists at Bábbarra Women’s Centre, Maningrida and Waralungku Arts, Borroloola, Northern Territory.
