FRAME Edition with Aimée Parrott
L-R: Juno’s Volute, edition 2 and edition 3
We’re pleased to announce a new edition with Aimée Parrott, launched to coincide with her solo exhibition at Broadway Gallery, Letchworth Garden City.
Juno’s Volute borrows its name from a species of large sea snail. Due to it’s deep water habitat the snail’s shell only washes up onto beaches after hurricanes or huge storms. The snail is named after the spiral (volute) of Juno, a Roman goddess known as a protector.
Juno's Volute is the second edition to be published by FRAME Editions - a series of collaborations between artist and framer in the tradition of artist's frames. It is a series of ten individual monotypes linked by process and form, overlaid with translucent washes of acrylic ink on glass. The frame has been designed to provide a structure for the various layers to interact.
The mono-printing process is both at the heart of this body of work and the inspiration for the inception of this project. Each piece begins as a drawing on copper plate which is transferred onto paper. Parrott then makes use of the faint trace that remains on the plate after the initial press. This ‘ghost image’ is variously reworked and reprinted, a process which gives the body of work an evolving seriality; the trace of the previous image lending itself to the inception of the next.
Forms echo through the works binding pieces to one another. The fluidity of the process creates a rhythm which reverberates throughout the collection and allows images to grow, fade, regenerate and feed back within a self-perpetuating framework.
