IRENA KECKES

As part of my creative practice PhD research project,  I create large-scale woodcuts, focusing the process of (print)making as a concept, and investigating the connections between Buddhism, and non-toxicity in printmaking. I examine if and how printmaking as a contemporary art practice may re-interpret ecological Buddhist doctrines. Alongside non-toxicity and Japanese woodcut printmaking, I explore the phenomenological way of knowing - an approach that combines intellectual and physical action which are constitutive to printmaking practice.
