Frottage, the captivating art of tracing without seeing, a unique and spontaneous drawing process. As an artist, I'm enamored by the serendipity and unexpected textures that arise when rubbing diverse surfaces onto paper. Embracing the interplay between chance and intention, I let the subject guide the work's outcome. Frottage unveils the concealed beauty of everyday objects, blurring the lines between representation and abstraction. With each mark, my aim is to evoke a harmonious dialogue between the physical world and a profound sense of artistic expression.

Sydney-based printmaker Marcus Dyer-Harrison delves into traditional and experimental printmaking techniques, exploring captivating relationships between images, places, and objects within their context. Through the deliberate removal of contextual visual references, his art sparks diverse interpretations, fostering a dynamic dialogue with viewers. Marcus's ultimate vision is to evoke emotions and contemplation, creating art that resonates personally and collectively while pushing the boundaries of printmaking for a thought-provoking experience.
