Miriam is an artist and practice-based PhD candidate based in the School of Art at ECA, funded by the Edinburgh College of Art PhD Scholarship.
Her research project (Un)Learning in the Workshop: exploring the relationship between working environments and innovation within contemporary printmaking practices considers how a reflective and expanded approach to the printmaker’s workshop can, through the lens of unlearning, offer alternative procedural approaches within contemporary print practices.
Miriam’s artistic practice thematises the generative nature of the printmaker’s studio, re-contextualising its apparatus and processes from mechanical means of technical mastery to central elements in the artist’s decision-making process. It makes explicit the media, tools, decisions and actions of the printmaker within the workshop setting, highlighting the labour and tactile nature of practical application.
Miriam holds an MFA in Contemporary Art Practice from Edinburgh College of Art (2020), and a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Newcastle University (2015).
