Collection of the Artist
From miniature to monolithic, artists have been playing with scale for thousands of years. SIZE MATTERS features the work of contemporary printmakers from Canada, the U.S., Finland, Japan, and beyond, who all have one thing in common: they like to think big. Working in media as diverse as woodcuts and digital prints on fabric, the artists featured in this University of Alberta Museums exhibition are making the most of new materials and advances in printing technology to create art of a scale and complexity seldom seen.
