SMALL BUT MIGHTY
9th - 19th November 2023

Small But Mighty showcases all forms of printmaking and highlights the powerful, ambitious and impressive nature of works created on a small scale.
This open submission exhibition, established by the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) received a huge number of entries, from which Guest Selector Jonny Hannah has chosen a selection of nearly 270 works. These artworks span printmaking mediums from intaglio, relief, digital, screenprint, letterpress and embossing and show printmaking used in a diverse way, incorporating objects and sculptural forms or taking the form of artists' books.
What they all have in common is their size - with all work being under 50cm, this exhibition demonstrates the mighty impact works can have despite their small size.

POWYS, WALES
Time spent at The Sydney Nolan Trust, Presteigne, Wales
September / October 2020
Bren has recently spent time at The Sydney Nolan Trust in Presteigne, Wales. A new body of work apple and stone is beginning to emerge following her immersion in, and connection with, the wild surroundings and the creative centre that focuses on the life of 20th century Australian artist, Sydney Nolan. As much of Wales went into lockdown because of Covid 19, The Rodd provided Bren with a safe haven to explore ideas, actions and materials to feed into her practice.
