Opening | Friday 6 February 2026, 6pm

Exhibition | 6 February - 22 March 2026

In this series, Totman presents a fresh direction developed from memories of the natural world; an awareness of the influence of environment, weather and the unfathomable depth of galaxy. Always inspired by light and colour, Totman has taken a glance back to recollections of a childhood fascinated by luminous, stained glass panels in church and the velvety darkness of a star-studded night sky. Reliant on repetition of shape and form, these images are essentially abstract. They represent Totman’s symbolic use of the sphere as a natural, organic form and a spiritual icon of the universe. Telescoping as though from an observatory, the spherical form is strongly resonant of the night sky, the light haloes emanating outwards from stars and moon pulsating in a dark space.

Megalo Print Studio

Saturday 14 + Sunday 15 March 2026

10am - 4pm

Join printmaker Andrew Totman for an immersive weekend of monoprinting, where you’ll explore the expressive possibilities of mark-making, texture, and spontaneous image creation.

Across the workshop, you’ll experiment with a range of mono printing techniques including line transfer, stencils, and subtractive methods using mono print plates and a variety of drawing tools. You’ll discover how mono printing allows for rich, layered results that combine elements of painting, drawing, and traditional printmaking into a single, one-of-a-kind image.

You’ll learn how to ink a plate, create both bold and delicate marks, and use masking materials, textures, and hand-drawn elements to develop dynamic prints. The session will also introduce ways of incorporating media such as watercolour and wax resist to expand your visual vocabulary.

Suitability: This course is suitable for both beginners and printmakers interested in learning new techniques.

Materials: All materials provided.
