Rubha Hunish, Skye All nine wood blocks are engraved and ready for test printing. Then a lot of faffing about to develop methods and workflows that minimise the effort and error involved in producing a run of perfect prints in perfect alignment. How hard can it be...?

Yes! 'LADLE SLAG, OLD HILL 1' by Edward Wadsworth, 1919. At the British Landscapes exhibition, Pallant House Gallery, which I recommend. A fair bit of Paul Nash 😎👌

A b&w lithograph of a big pile of boxy shapes and slag heaps. The accompanying card reads as follows:

"Edward Wadsworth (1889-1949)

Ladle Slag, Old Hill 1

1919

Lithograph on paper

Gift of Geraldine Hollweg (2025)

Edward Wadsworth was associated with the Vorticist movement, a group of artists with the aim of creating radical art that expressed the dynamism of the modern world. After the First World War he turned his attention to the industrial landscapes around Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Dudley. Fascinated by the effects of manufacturing waste, he created works such as this print that celebrate the particular forms of slag heaps. One critic noted that Wadsworth transformed 'the marks of modernity on the landscape with the romantic picturesque'."

Free talk Sun 16th Aug 11:30-12:30 - Action PaperPolice: Jürgen O. Olbrich's PaperPolice project searches for public paper waste and reassembles the finds into art. You are invited to take a package and meet the artist. Hesse Kassel Heritage, Neue Galerie. www.heritage-kassel.de/museumsgespr...

A sheet from a paper package of Action PaperPolice, which is paper waste collected by the artist Jürgen O. Olbrich and reassembled into packs of public art. This image shows a perforated sheet of paper which is an inventory of stamp sales - just text - no images. and has PaperPolice rubber stamped on it in black ink, like an official stamp.

Show & action by Jürgen O. Olbrich at the “Haus der Kunst”, Munich, 2022, photo: Hubert Kretschmer. The brown paper packages stacked on the gallery floor are packs of Action PaperPolice by the artist, wrapped for the public to take away and discover the contents. A bit like a lucky dip. Since the 1990s, Jürgen O. Olbrich has been searching public paper containers, collecting what others have thrown away, and reassembling the finds.
