About the Item

The Dutch Dodo is a photopolymer print with chine collé by Tammy Mackay. Having started a little project of drawing Dodo models from around the world, this is my first from abroad. This particular dodo model was made by taxidermist Jan Hakhof, for a Dodo exhibition in Amsterdam (Zoological Museum) in 1995. Each print is carefully printed from a solar plate onto thin Japanese paper. Each on is then carefully cut in a circle and re registered and put through the press again to get the circular embossed shape. This print was shortlisted for the Royal Academy exhibition 2019. Tammy Mackay works are available to buy with Wychwood art online and in our art gallery. Tammy Mackay's Dodo work and other works are available for sale online and in our art gallery but do call us to double check . Tammy Mackay comments "I have always had a passion for printmaking, which has always been my main form of expression. Although I have used etching and monoprint as my primary mediums, I have always experimented with new techniques. More recently I have used photopolymer plates and drypoint. These techniques are often combined with hand drawn or hand coloured chine collé. Exploring and developing new techniques opens up new possibilities which I feel is essential to my development as an artist and printmaker. Tammy Mackay's most recent body of work is entitled Love [loss] and Identity. This series has been a personal exploration of these themes. A journey of feelings often linked to an object, moment or past memory. Images have become both layered in process and layered in meaning. Animals and birds have become central to the theme and convey a subtle symbolism within their depiction. “Those Lost Forever” exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2013 and “Gone but not Forgotten” exhibited in this year’s show are both from this series. I grew up on a farm in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. I studied at Rhodes University in South Africa and graduated with an Honours Degree in Fine Arts, majoring in Printmaking. Although I now live in the UK, my work still reflects the imagery of where I grew up. I show my work in the UK and abroad, and have had work included in corporate collections in South Africa.

  • Izzy with her Ball, Dog Art, Affordable Art, Contemporary Animal Art Print
    Located in Deddington, GB
    Izzy, a charming characterful terrier stands alert, holding her ball in her mouth. Colour etching hand made and printed by the artist. Helen Fay's art for sale online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Animals have always been at the heart of my work. I find the form, movement and behaviour of the creatures I draw a source of limitless fascination. I love the idea of them watching me, watching them as I draw. I hope my appreciation of the sentience and character of the animals I draw comes across in my work. Over my career I have drawn everything from primates to penguins, dogs, ostriches and even an echidna. These days dogs are my main focus, mostly because I adore dogs but also because they are such an integral part of life. I am delighted by the theory that humans and dogs co evolved, we wouldn’t be what we are without them and vice versa. I try to pare my images down to a balanced simplicity that directs attention to the subject of the picture. I try to balance the subject and the space it occupies, giving each equal importance. Light is hugely important to my work, I imagine my subject in three dimensions as I draw and the light describes the musculature and texture that gives the drawing it’s presence and grounds it in the picture. I aim to capture a pause, a moment where whatever I draw looks like it could wander off or leap up any minute. My influences include Japanese prints, Chinese and Japanese brush drawing and the European artists who were influenced by Japan. I am really excited by composition, by artists like Bonnard and Leon Spilliaert. I have long been a fan of Munch for his direct mark-making, colour and intensity and at the other end of the spectrum, Hammershoi for his limited palette, sense of space and calm. I am interested in black and white photography and film and have recently discovered and been amazed by the films of Yasujiro Ozu...
