As an artist, Mandy Franca subverts and challenges the traditional application of printmaking by experimenting with a range of artistic mediums.
She uses the photographic image and mark-making as a recurring element in her work which intersect at painting, photography, print, drawing, collage, video, sculpture and installation.
Franca employs experimental forms of print in combination with analog techniques creating a juxtaposition between surfaces and the image.
The application of layering in her work is to display the complexity that makes up the present as a marker of the simultaneous.
With these techniques Franca wants to challenge ideas of digital materiality, painting and the reproductive image.
