Kaleidoscope Editions is a print publishing initiative, founded by directors Kelly Gellatley, Kirsty Grant and Bronwyn Johnson, that provides artists the opportunity to create new work within a supportive and equitable business model. Driven by a shared passion for works on paper and motivated by a love of great art, Kaleidoscope support Australian artists to release a limited edition of original prints to reach and engage new audiences. Bringing together some of Australia’s most exciting artists with the country’s most skilful master-printers, the editions are the result of the creative possibilities and research that come from this pairing of artistic and technical knowledge. 

The invitation to participate in Kaleidoscope Editions, through the production of newly commissioned work was transformative for my practice, opening up new technical and material pathways. The process allowed me to test how my established painting practice can be stretched and reimagined in a dynamic collaborative print studio context.
