Abstract
The mokuhanga (or Japanese woodblock) prints of British abstract painter Rebecca Salter (b. 1955) and Australian multimedia artist Brook Andrew (b. 1970) illustrate the distinct and diverging characteristics of this artistic practice in the broader context of global contemporary art. The adoption of mokuhanga by these two artists raises larger questions about the role of skill, craft and physical, as well as conceptual labour in the production of art.
