At the Camberwell MA Printmaking Show we chose two very different practices from the student work on display.  Both positioned their works in a particular arrangement and in a installational fashion (works were arranged in relation to each other with the display area – Bhasin at selected differing heights and Zhang across a landscape orientation and overlapped works) These students also had a very different approach.   Zhang took a formalist and mark marking approach, positioning works on Kozo paper that overlapped, made by differing methods – lithography, monoprint, inkjet and photo transfer, to a composed wall piece of large dimensions 3.5m x 1.5m.

Bhasin’s printwork is very different, with selected large etchings 75 x1125 cm of female figures (possibly of herself ) as pairs of incumbent sleeping female figures, with each print placed in relation to each other at different heights and separate walls. Both students demostrated both a particular love of printmaking and a mature approach to their individual printmaking works and therefore stood out as able students to be awarded.
