Colour, Shape, and Space: Material and Conceptual Spaces through Print Media

Berman's work is grounded in earth science and the body. Focusing on colour and the building of relationships through abstracted forms, iteration is at the heart of her practice. Through printed layers and physical pattern-building, Berman's images build narratives about the connections between time, play, and discovery.

This presentation will share Berman's ongoing research on the material and cultural study of colour through the lens of contemporary printmaking art, through her current work as a Fulbright Scholar at the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research at University of Canberra.
