Barren by Brie Barnacle

Brie Barnacle

Brie is an experimental printmaker who is intrigued by the beauty of liminal spaces within nature and an individual’s subjective emotional response to landscape. She combines multiple print disciplines, such as silkscreen monotype with hand pressed prints, etchings and collagraphs to create richly coloured, textural landscapes that allude to the contemplative nature of the outdoors. Her process is experimental, intuitive and results in multi-layered prints.
