Curators Mai Osawa and Sarah Cliff.

Curator of Draw and Bite print maker and illustrator Mai Osawa trained as a set designer. Fascinated by the old stone buildings of Europe she longed to understand what historically it must have been like to be a mason or an architect.
Mai has found that the physical process of etching is almost as much of a challenge for a printmaker as is the challenge a mason faces when striving to achieve a perfect building or carving. Because of this, she has been concentrating her time on the etching process. The most important aspects for her are ‘light’ and ‘dimensions’, and she hopes that these can help the viewer project their own stories and imagination on to the work
