Tess Barker
2025 Craft + Design Canberra Daily Creative Challenge Finalist
Artist Statement | For this challenge I chose to use monoprinting with Fimo polymer clay, a fade resistant ink pad and hahnemuhle paper to capture textures in my surroundings. It is quick, fun and yields graphic and often surprising results! I even took my kit with me when travelling. I really enjoyed how my chosen medium was limiting yet flexible enough to express the creative choices I made. Each day was an exciting hunt for the right texture or object to truly honour the feelings and memories that the words conjured in me. It pushed me to think laterally and was extremely rewarding.
