Welcome
Dr. Josephine McCormick is an Artist/Printmaker, based in Belfast, N.Ireland. Specialising in Fine Art Printmaking, her practice is centred on the exploration of connectivity.

Josephine is currently undertaking several collaborative print projects at present,
A collaborative project with Dr Eric Lyon from the Sonic Arts Research Centre, [SARC] Queens University, Belfast. Dr Lyon lectures in Composition and Music Software Development at SARC. The suite of prints will be based on Erics experimental sound works. This work is due to be shown at Belfast Print Workshop in 2010.
A collaborative project with Composer, Bill Campbell on a suite of prints related to his compositions for orchestra.
Josephine is also currently working on a print installation based on transient connectivity that will be shown at Central Station in Belfast in 2010.

A film of Josephine's work in Paris and Belfast 'Printmaking it Real', can be viewed on youtube under the categories of Education and Printmaking or view it by this link www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWt8n3sma_g
Areas of special interest in her work are liquid modernity, flux and digital technology, a diverse set of inspirations. Yet her practice endeavours to give voice to the ordinary and to reveal the hidden layers and intangibles between systems of connectivity. Josephine has collaborated with many multi - disciplinary groups of people, Engineers, Scientists and Sound Artists in the making of work.
Embroidered sound waves of the spoken word and concepts, the phosphorous residue of mobile phone rubbings, and the flurogram of her own DNA mixed with layers of collographs are all bodies of work that support her interest in the flux between old and new techniques and technology in order to reveal something unexpected and to express another layer of connectivity.
Josephine is currently Printmaking lecturer at Belfast Metropolitan College and a member of Belfast Print Workshop. Her print work is available to view at the Original Print Gallery and Graphic Studio Dublin, Belfast Print Workshop and the 3D Gallery Bristol. Josephine's work is represented in Museum Collections in China, Russia, Ireland and England.
