Looking Forward // Looking Back brings together emerging artists whose works respond to, reflect on, or reimagine the QCAD printmaking folio box as both object and idea. This exhibition of art students from print: praxis at QCAD considers the folio’s dual role, as a container of history, memory and process, and as a catalyst for future possibility and experimentation.
Through this dialogue, the artists explore the layered nature of printmaking: its traditions, repetitions and reinventions. Some works look back, drawing on the lineage of techniques, motifs and stories carried within the medium; others look forward, proposing new directions and expanded forms of practice. Together, these responses reveal how printmaking moves between preservation and progression—grounded in shared histories while opening space for what is yet to come.
In this way, Looking Forward // Looking Back invites audiences to reflect on the past while imagining the future of printmaking in Queensland.
