Future Foundations curated by Troppo Print Studio, celebrates the past, present and future of poster and print making. Bringing together Australian print collectives and individuals from foundational to contemporary practice, Future Foundations aims to empower viewers and participants to build, share and distribute their own ideas via print.
Within this intergenerational meeting of ideas, there will be space for collaboration of new work in reaction to Australia’s contemporary issues. Current and foundational works sit side-by-side to demonstrate that yesterday’s environmental, political and social problems are still proving relevant today, as history repeats itself.

Fragile - Poster collaboration /
Fragile, 2024
Edition: 10
11.5 x 18 in
Screen print (Wendy) & letterpress (Ed)
Printed in Summit, Oregon USA
Poster collaboration with Ed Rettig. It’s so beautiful here in Summit, Oregon. This is pretty much the view from the print shop!!
Ed had this awesome block (c1950) in his collection & suggested ‘fragile’ could mean the environment …. I looked out the window & thought - that’s it!! I set up a screen print shop in Ed’s letterpress shop & printed this edition.
A few extra’s are up & around the Oregon - on street poles & notice boards.
