 Bio: Amy-Jane Blackhall is an artist and printmaker. Her work emerges from her fascination with the concept of interconnectedness, through the physical and spiritual act of making, particularly the repetitive nature of print.

Recent prints take inspiration from Japanese screens, known as shoji. Traditional lattice designs are at the root of the imagery. Akin to a shoji the prints depict a translucent barrier between internal and external worlds, and of interest to Blackhall is the intangible space in-between, natural forms and their shadows are suspended in time, echoes of past and present.

In 2015 Blackhall established her own Fine Art print and editioning studio, INK on PAPER PRESS, based in Wiltshire, UK, where work with artists on a one-to-one basis to originate and edition prints, alongside developing her own art practice.
