Printmaking through the
art of Betty Goodwin
Montreal artist Betty Goodwin (1923–2008) revolutionized the medium of printmaking when, in 1968, she began putting pieces of clothing through a printing press, creating works with deeply personal themes relating to memory, the human condition, and the fragility of life. Taking inspiration from her work, this guide encourages students to create print-based visual works and explore themes connected to personal experience, materiality, and current events.
