50 New Zealand Printmakers participated in producing prints that would be exhibited here and Australia, to help celebrate the 50th year of the Australian Print Council. We were divided int 5 teams, to produce an edition of 12 prints. Each person received the 12 pieces of paper in turn, the only stipulation was the title"Leaving your mark"
I was fortunate to be second in line, so basically "Carte blanche". That enabled me to print my favs... Eucalyptus leaves, these had been chewed on the edges by the Gum Emperor caterpillar, so I thought it was apt. It was a nerve racking experience... printing over someone elses work! It was rewarding receiving photos of the print as it passed past each person. A full video of the making of the prints can be viewed at

Below are a few photos of the progress, and then the final 5 completed prints.
