Hong Kong-based artist Elizabeth Briel has created a series of monoprint screenprints, formed of bilingual text woven around and through family photos taken during her childhood in France, which explore the restlessness of living between languages and continents, family tensions, and loss.

To create these works she collaborated with two studios:

Ruscombe Paper Arts is run by Frédéric Gironde, a French papermaker who creates ‘chiffon paper’ from vintage and antique fabrics with innovative and unique character. For this project he has tinted handmade papers with residual grape must from the vineyards that surround his studio in Margaux. The papers’ violet tint will fade naturally over time, defying the logic in art conservation that art must remain in the identical state in which it was created.

To print these artworks at the highest quality, she worked with master printmaker David Jasper Wong, co-founder of Marble Print Clay studio in Hong Kong.

During the exhibition, visitors have the opportunity to explore these studios and the works virtually through events and discussions.
