Helio Press - Rainy Days A3 Risograph Print by April Phillips
April Phillips is a Wiradjuri-Scottish woman of the Galari / Kalari peoples, living and working in regional Australia. Her art practice is cemented in futurism and media arts; as lead artist / director working across moving images, illustration, 3D assets, AR research, and photogrammetry. In 2022 April was awarded the Women in Digital award for excellence, advocacy, innovation and social impact, in recognition of her work in digital arts.
Her practice extends to analogue materials and processes including drawing, printmaking, ceramics and glass. She works within collaborative environments to realise ambitious projects, leading teams to do big things. April employs character design as a narrative tool to explore empathy, fun and form. Her use of vivid colour and unlikely digital processes celebrates the potential of computer art for a new world.
Risograph printed in yellow, red, green, blue, brown and black inks at Helio Press. A3 size – 420×297mm on knight vellum paper, signed and numbered by the artist.
Your print will be shipped in an archival polypropylene sleeve with a sturdy backing board.
