Caroline explores objects and images from antiquity and art history found in galleries and museums. She deconstructs and reconstructs these subjects in novel ways to render the familiar strange. Stone marble, paper marbling, glitches and folds have become metaphors for time, illusion and perception. Caroline brings together different generations of print technology. In technology, the glitch is an error which reveals the fallibility of a system. In Caroline’s practice the digital glitch and folding create a fragmented patterning lending surfaces a resistance to easy translation, inviting multiple readings. Glitches and folds create new boundaries, where the usual distinctions between one thing and another blur and intertwine. She offers different ways to look at history with a hope of generating new meanings. Recurring themes in her work are fragmentation and metamorphosis. In Caroline’s large, printed, folded structures she combines images from antiquity with everyday modern materials to make digitally printed structures which seek to subtly reveal the hidden production systems we navigate. Digitally rendered fleshy tones suggest both artificial and natural processes. Through the thin Japanese paper, you can see the stacked packaging, linking these digital bodies to man-made consumption. Whilst digital, these works are not digitally flawless or pristine which adds to their corporeal quality. Tension slides between the encounter with the scale of the work, proximity, and the precariousness of their structures.

  • Our pioneering exhibition model of 50% specialist galleries and 50% independent artists is unique in supporting artists who may not have the opportunity to show in an international art fair which generally rely on gallery representation. 

    WCPF's global art platform hosts an open call that gives artists the cchance to have their work reviewed by a panel of leading industry experts, with successful artworks going on to show in the Fair's 'Curated Hang' section alongside celebrated names and work from renowned galleries. 

    This exposure provides further opportunities for artist awards, prizes and residencies, to significant acquisitions and gallery representation.

  • Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair only deals in original prints and does not work with reproduction prints which are copies of other artworks, and where the term 'print' can be misunderstood.

    An ‘Original Print’ is a work of art that was conceived as a print in its first instance, as opposed to a reproduction of another original work.

    This means the artist has set about to create a print, whether it is an etching, mono-print, lithograph etc. rather than simply taking a photograph or scan of an existing artwork and printing out a number of ‘reproduction’ prints like a poster. The artist decides on the number of editions within the print run and number each accordingly (eg. 1/30). There is no difference in value between the first and the last print within the edition as each one is an original artwork.

    Once all editions have been printed the matrix is destroyed or repurposed so no others can be made.
