Abstract (English)

"Caulfield’s interest in woodblock relates to its history as one of the earliest forms of printing, and its use in scientific/medical illustrations. In relation to this, he often exhibits the actual woodblocks as sculptural objects together with the prints, in order to create a monumental “book”, reminding viewers of the weight of the scientific knowledge found in this history of the printed image. Likewise, he is also interested in exploring the tactile, hand-made quality of the woodblock image, which stands in contrast to current digital printing technology, creating a different lens from which to view our contemporary context. He is also drawn to the formal limitations of woodblock, which generate a unique graphic language that seems ideally suited to exploring contemporary feelings of anxiety and fear associated with current technology." -- Publisher's website
