There is a strong tradition of printmaking in Victoria and the EPP seeks to foster new directions in the field, through both the exhibition of shortlisted artists and awarding of prizes. Unique amongst printmaking prizes, EPP recognises that experimentation and risk are essential to art.

Ahead of the Curve brings together a selection of contemporary quilts by Tara Glastonbury that centre the curve both as technical provocation and as a rich site for creative inquiry. This modern shape, with its fluidity and structural complexity, has long captivated makers seeking to push the boundaries of their craft. The works in this exhibition chart a course through improvisation and precision, boldness and restraint. Embracing risk, innovation, and a deep material engagement, these makers engage with the curve not only as a visual motif but as a way of rethinking process, embracing complexity, and expanding the language of textile art. Collectively, they form a compelling survey of how the curve continues to inspire experimentation in form, colour, and construction, affirming the medium’s ongoing evolution as a dynamic and ambitious contemporary artform.
