Pam Newall

Artist statement

I try to make images that resonate with some earlier activity, that hold a sense of absence, that catch things at the margins. My prints have been built up from drawings or photographic images, sometimes worked into. I have recently used etching, photoetch and photoscreen/silkscreen.

I am seeking to use my printmaking as a way of registering and perhaps managing the impact of our daily experience, that awareness of a multitude of separate consciousnesses constantly shifting through the town and the city. Images set at the periphery of my vision have been the starting point of an exploration of many unknown individual narratives.

Printmaking is for me a way of seeing things more consciously and less casually, of indexing experience and logging and therefore controlling the chaos of incessant observation. I would like my prints to record the marginal and to merit the viewer lingering in front of them and wondering about the stories in them.
