Art preserves culture, challenges injustice, is propaganda, breaks taboos, influences design, and so much more. If art is capable of radically affecting the world do we not as artists have a duty to utilise that?

In the artist’s most notable work to date, the “Inkblot” series, Price harnesses basic and traditional printmaking methods, then stands them on their head, such that the results cross boundaries of printmaking, drawing, sculpture, site-based installation, and public intervention. Price’s work addresses complex layers of material culture and the role of the visual artist in a complicated age of media. Her ambition is to build on the populist tradition of printmaking as a way to introduce visual art practice to a broad spectrum of culture.

The artist was drawn towards psychiatric inkblots for their ability to have meaning individual to the viewer. Price utilises objects that perform a task for people in contemporary society, creating works that convey a sense of wonder and familiarity by utterly simplistic means. The work is open to interpretation and asks the viewer to look beyond the obvious. The artist is removed from the final piece, the viewer makes it anything they see it to be and are an equal collaborator in the work: becoming the work’s meaning.
