BIOGRAPHY
Fine art photographer Silvi Glattauer practicing in Melbourne, Australia, exhibits nationwide. The central themes in her work relate to nature and narratives. There is a connecting thread about materiality, about object, and about preciousness. As a founding member of Baldessin Press, she is considered a pioneering authority on the ‘direct to Plate’ photopolymer photogravure process. Silvi runs regular workshops, one-on-one tutoring, and on-demand plate making and editioning.
Silvi has exhibited throughout Australia and abroad, most recently at the Museum of Victoria. She has won the Nillumbik Prize and was commissioned by the Victorian government to create a documentary series for bushfire recovery. Her work is in many private and public collections, including the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) and Geelong Regional Galleries, Melbourne Museum, the State Library of Victoria, and Monash Gallery of Art.
CONNECTION TO BALDESSIN STUDIO
I have been associated with Tess Edwards Baldessin since 2001, when Baldessin Press began as a not-for-profit organisation. In addition to my role as studio manager, I teach workshops, tutorials, and collaborate on specific projects with individual artists. Baldessin Studio is my primary creative space. Baldessin Studio has long been a key factor in my research and printmaking techniques. - Silvi Glattauer
