Jo Boddy Printmaker

Jo Boddy Printmaker logo featuring large blue writing

I am a printmaker capturing quiet encounters and moments of connection with the natural world.  In an age of near-constant transaction, where time, attention, and value are continually exchanged, I am interested in how we experience places where nothing is asked beyond being present. My work reflects a need to step outside of productivity and consumption and to reconnect with a slower, more reciprocal relationship to the land. As you gaze at the landscape, it begins, in turn, to gaze back, inviting reflection on how we see, inhabit, and understand the world around us and our impact, throughout history, upon it.

         

I use a range of printmaking techniques, the physicality of carving, etching, inking and pressing mirrors the act of walking and observing; both require time, patience and sustained attention. Through repetition and subtle variation, printmaking allows me to distil these quiet encounters, creating images that hold stillness and invite the viewer into a more considered way of looking, exploring their own feelings of connection with their landscape.​​
