Introducing a new member: Jacqui Driver
Let’s welcome Jacqui Driver, our newest member of Sydney Printmakers, well known as a teacher, and for her large scale lithographs.
Here is how she describes her work:
Being a mother is complicated, the idea of mothering may extend from the romantic notions of unquestioning love through to the difficulties of ambivalence and the trauma of dealing with mental health issues, all concepts reflected in thecomplexity of my thickets. I see the corporeal pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis interconnected with the psychologicalwounding of transgenerational trauma as all encompassing, therefore I use installation to encompass my audience, surrounding them with images of entanglement and the folds and flows of silk drapes. Providing a means to metaphorically hug or be hugged and nurturing a safer space in which toexpress pain.
My work often involves collaboration with other artists who also deal with transgenerational trauma or mental health issues. I have collaborated previously with a dance-based performance artist, Lorcan Power, a sound artist, Dylan Marelić-Mcintyre and cinematographer, Darwin Schulz,resulting in the production of short films. The projected films add an extra element into my installations and broaden an audience experience of mothering interwoven with childhoodtrauma.
Overall, my work has a powerful presence which reveals the hidden complexity of mothering while challenging the cultural silence of living with the effects of transgenerational trauma.
Here is a link to an interview which Jacqui gave to More Than Reproduction in 2021. It explains more about her process.
Thea Weiss’s short film wins yet more accolades
Thea Weiss has won more laurels for her short film My Two Lives, a Creative Response to the Holocaust, these from the Barcelona Short Film Festival and the Topaz Film Festival by Women in Film Dallas.
The film highlights her artwork, interpreting the story of her late mother-in-law, Lotte Weiss, as she describes her horrific experiences.

Nathalie Hartog-Gautier’s work acquired.
The twelve books comprising Nathalie’s work Looking for Paradise have been purchased by the State Library of NSW and should be available for viewing next year.
Congratulations, Nathalie.
This work looks at past and present policies that different governments instigated to help or deny entry to people in need of a ‘Safe Haven’.
This project is a reminder of Australia’s responsibility as a first signatory of the United Nation Human Rights Charter.
Over 12 books, Nathalie brings the stories of these refugees, often relegated to the margins of society, to the centre of the page.
The books are presented in a barbed wire cage alluding to the restrictive movements imposed on refugees.
In parallel to the fate of many refugees, drawings of the Australian bush and botanical specimens are referencing the First Nation people often equally displaced from their lands.

Astute adjudication of the Prize over the years has yielded an excellent collection of modern and contemporary Australian paintings, works on paper and ceramics from the Post War period of the 20th Century and into the 21st Century, with the winning acquisitive works forming the nucleus of what is now known as the Muswellbrook Shire Art Collection. Previous winners of the Muswellbrook Art Prize include such key figures as David Aspden, Sydney Ball, Richard Larter and Fred Williams. The Upper Hunter Region is also well represented with a number of local artists being successful in winning the Prize including Peter Atkins, Dale Frank, Lyn Nash and Hanna Kay.
