Prints By PIppin
Printmaking and Swamps
My work investigates ecosystems and demystifies scientific outcomes, while calling into question human culpability and responsibility.
Working with Microbiologists, Ornithologists and Biologists I create large-scale installations and prints exploring issues of climate change, species extinction and environmental stewardship.
The work I am happiest with always finds a balance between printmaking, science and draftsmanship, unifying to tell big picture stories about humanity's complicated relationship with nature.

The natural process of printmaking reverses its subject and injects personality into every mark. The process transforms her drawings in different ways depending on the material: wood block, collagraph or silkscreen.
Finding the balance between scientifically capturing each ecological detail and her creative process brings Pippin the most joy in her work. Each layer joins to the one below, unifying a big picture, similarly reflecting humanity’s complicated relationship with nature.
Also endangered, the field of printmaking contends with the dominance of the digital in the 21st century. Her work highlights old print technologies within modern settings to encourage a reflection on the past to imagine a more thoughtful future.
