A Solo Exhibition of Site-specific Installations by LIZZIE MUNN
Lizzie Munn brings to Space of Time a series of new site-specific, print based installations. Upon entering the village an expansive response to the surrounding landscape begins; a cornfield’s faded storehouse is pollinated by her touch. Panes of broken glass are adorned with delicate sheets of colour, shaped by the seasons.
Munn’s monotypes are hand-printed on rice, grass and mulberry paper, which derive from the Chinese Mulberry tree and a blend of natural fibres native to the land. Exported to the UK from China and purchased in London, the artist rhythmically transforms the material through the traditional, labour-intensive process of printmaking. Mediative in their making, oil based ink is mixed, rolled and transferred onto the sheer surface of the paper through a hand-propelled printing-press. In this material dialogue we trace a journey of trade and commerce between distant lands. Collected, cared for, loved and reanimated, the paper returns to China saturated with colour, porous to its environment.
A continuing exchange between artist and architecture is established. As each print absorbs this sense of place, their autonomy becomes apparent, dictating their form. Fragmented steel bar structures inhabit the space; a skeleton of the suspended layers. The gallery becomes a site of negotiation as sheets tessellate and dissipate, until magnetising into gently assembled postures. Fluctuating between dimensions, the works breathe with their surroundings and remain active components for the duration of the exhibition.
Words by Max Boyla
Grass grows, rivers flow, and the leaves fall. Blossoms swirl, gently gliding in what is to be their first, and last dance of the year. These seasonal spells are a kind of slow weather. More distant in cyclical nature, they mark the passing of time. For when it rains, it is not a new day, only a wetter one.

About the Artist
LIZZIE MUNN (b.1995, UK)
Lizzie Munn is a British artist based in London, working across printmaking and installation, her practice adopts analogue processes which distance the hand. She completed a BA in Fine Art at Newcastle University in 2018, and graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 2024. Maintaining a somewhat unorthodox attitude to printmaking, Munn generates sequences of monotypes to be employed as units of material matter in an expansive form of image making. Data and information absorbed from the world is processed through this repetitive act of making, embodied in the meditative movements of rolling and pressing. Her attentive approach allows relationships to form through colour, surface and volume. Paper becomes object, to be overlaid and rearranged, constructing modular print-based installations which are shaped by their environment.
