signed, numbered 3/30 and inscribed with the title in pencil in the margin engraving, soft- and dryground etching PROVENANCE The Edwine Simon Print Collection sheet size: 22 by 12cmEDWINE SIMON: A PRINTMAKERS JOURNEY A printmaker’s journey is a long and constantly challenging one in content, printing skills and technique. A printmaker should be able to print their own work, but collaboration with a master printmaker is recommended in order to push the boundaries in size, technique and content. My career began at the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town under Eleanor Esmonde–White who taught design; Katrine Harries, technical virtuosity and skills of the traditional German school of etching and lithography; and May Hillhouse, colour. Oil painting and sculpture were the only two major degree subjects at the University at the time. Printmaking was the “Cinderella” until Kevin Atkinson and I broke that tradition and opened the doors for the following generations of students, enabling them to obtain a degree majoring in printmaking. We pushed the boundaries to the dismay of our lecturer. Kevin went on to study under Jennifer Dickson in Brighton England and Atelier 17 in Paris under Stanley Hayter. I went to The Institute of Education, University of London and part-time evening classes in etching at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London under Peter Nel and Leonard Marchant. Back in Cape Town, Atkinson and I worked together teaching at The Cape Town Art Centre producing monotypes and work in acrylics. I went on to teach at the Ruth Prowse School of Art and thereafter worked with Jonathan Comerford, an ex-student of mine, who had just returned from Peacock Printmakers in Scotland. A collaborative printmaking studio, Hardground Printmakers in Roodehek Street, Cape Town, was established to provide professional printmaking facilities for the independent artist. A diverse array of artists would come to work there, both local and international, producing a wide range of printmaking. At Hardground, I produced large shaped etchings, collographs, blind embossing, viscosity etchings, silkscreens, linocuts and mixed media prints. This was made possible by Jonathan Comerford’s master printmaking expertise, as well as his wide arm span! He was able to lift soaked handmade paper, without it tearing, onto the surface of the plate and printing press. These collaborations show the complex process of printmaking and demonstrate the richness and diversity of the craft, whether it is a single print or a portfolio of exciting works. Lecturing at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology before retirement, I was able to draw upon my art experience from my collaborations with the above artists, educators and printmakers, by passing on technical knowledge to the students and other young creatives. - Edwine Simon Edwine Simon has held 11 solo exhibitions, participated in numerous group exhibitions and is represented in public and private collections in South Africa and overseas.
