Centre for Print Research Artist Talks for Students

Description

Tracey Bush

Tracey Bush is a British Artist who works with paper. After obtaining an MFA in Printmaking from Camberwell College of Arts and Crafts London, Tracey made a research trip to South Korea, where she studied paper culture. After this travel scholarship, funded by the Stationers’ Company, Tracey began to view paper as the substance, rather than the surface of many of her artworks.

Tracey’s work is informed by the histories of Natural History collecting, which are often the province of amateur women enthusiasts. Through her lengthy career making artist’s books, Tracey has developed a dextrous approach to creating Art, involving a high level of craft skill, through which to explore humanity’s impact on the environment.
