Pressing Matters #31

Pressing Matters #31 celebrates the limitless possibilities of printmaking, exploring how shape and colour communicate emotions and stories beyond words. Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s belief that art can express the unspoken, this edition dives into the diverse practices of makers who transform simple tools into profound creative statements.

From big prints made with small stamps to geometric folds and the poetic imperfection of ghost prints, the artists featured here remind us that creativity is as much about intuition as it is about craft. This issue also introduces new in-depth features, giving contributors more space to share their creative journeys—stories of resilience, activism, community, and connection to nature.

Whether you’re a seasoned printmaker or simply in love with the tactile joy of ink and paper, Issue 31 is designed to spark fresh ideas and inspire your next artistic experiment.
