It has been a delight to be a guest judge for the inaugural SHAC Works on Paper Prize 2024. It was fantastic to see the strength, innovation, and ambition of the artists who entered. The entries celebrated the depth and breadth of paper by incorporating myriad materials and techniques including printmaking, photography, drawing, assemblage and more. The selection of finalists celebrates a diversity of practices and conceptual focuses of artists working with paper across the country.
Many thanks,
