Introduction
In 2006, Micheal Florrimell, the founder and co-ordinator of the Exchange Partners in Print Media (EPNPM) portfolios (circa 1991 - 2013) selected/invited 22 professional national and international print media artists to undertake a project for the 2006 ‘EPNPM False Gods’ portfolio. Thirty prints were editioned with the paper size being A3 (297 x 420 mm). Each artist received a complete portfolio of all the editioned prints with the remaining portfolios being donated to various Australian and International print collections. The project was funded by the National Association for the Visual Arts with financial assistance from the New South Wales Ministry for the Arts. The ‘EPNPM False Gods’ portfolio of prints was exhibited in 2007 at the Morningside Campus Library, Southbank Institute, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
My contribution to the portfolio print project titled, ‘Whose Church?’, was also independently juried and exhibited at the 2021 ‘Eclectic Connections’, ‘Spotlight on Members’ exhibition, Newcastle Printmakers Workshop, Newcastle, NSW; ‘The 2007 Collector’s Exhibition’, The Contemporary Art Society of Victoria, Steps Gallery, Carlton, Melbourne, Victoria; and at my 2006 solo exhibition, ‘The Journey’, Megalo Print Studio & Gallery, Watson, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
Practice and Research
My art practice explores various contemporary issues. The artworks I create rely heavily on research, discussion, and on pondering holistically on the creation of the images and how they engage my conceptual awakening to the viewer. Some of the artefacts that are owned by the Catholic Church that were gleaned and reworked for the conceptual and artistic creation of the fine art print include images of a monsterance, a chalice, rota’s, tabernacle’s and the Vatican Seal. The Saint Francis of Assisi image is a hand drawn illustration.
Artist's Statement
‘Whose Church?’ juxtaposes the material wealth of the Catholic Church against its spiritual wealth and raises the dichotomy which challenged the liberation theologians. It rested on freeing the people from political oppression and economic despair. It assumed the preference that Jesus showed for the Poor. Was it not easy for a camel to slip through the tiny eye of a needle than for a rich man - a capitalist - to get into heaven?
