Tim Mosely’s art practice contributes to the fields of print culture, artists books and haptic aesthetics. His work has been exhibited in significant survey exhibitions and is held in prominent national and international artists books collections. In his current studio practice he employs the ‘wilderness’, the autographic touch and the indexical nature of prints to investigate the role of the senses in the reception and evaluation of works of art. He also contributes to the emerging critical discourse on artists books.
Having assembled over 50 artists books during his thirty years of professional practice in printmaking studios he exhibits a proficient employment of intaglio, relief, silk-screening and papermaking techniques. Mosely’s work is held in collections Nationally and Internationally including the British Library in London, the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library at Harvard University and Museum Meermanno Huis van het Boek, The Hague, The Netherlands and the Bodleian Library.
