DescriptionPrint made as part of the 'Graphic Impact' project, when GPS artist members selected prints from the Archive and responded to them with a work of their own. Maia Ronan selected 'Josi in the Wind' by Sheena McGregor (1975, Lithograph): “I chose this print after hearing Sheena's interview as part of the audio archives at Glasgow Print Studio. Her stories from early days of the Print Studio helped me understand and connect to this print, which I find immersive and imaginative. I enjoy the layering of bright and moody colours, as well as the close detail in the fabric of the clothes and scarves, of a mundane windswept moment. It is interesting how Josi in the Wind draws inspiration from illustrations like The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. As an illustrator myself, I am fascinated by exploring the line between art and design." Swept was made in response: “This print is a design for a scarf, inspired by those in Sheena McGregor's lithograph Josi in the Wind. As a designer interested in patterns and textiles, I wanted to catch one of the scarves from the air and unravel it to take a closer look. This scarf should capture the movement of wind, as the design actually blows off the edge of the page/cloth. When looking through the archives I was also interested in Elizabeth Blackadder's prints made in Kyoto. I love her use of grids in these prints, how they are used as a guide for the drawings made inside of them, but often escape the confines of them.”
