Last Thursday, Melbourne artist Gosia Wlodarczak won the 2014 Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award with her work Process Capsule Situations Sofitel (below).
Over the 39 years that the award has been exhibited at the Fremantle Arts Centre, it has played a central role within Australian printmaking – both as a catalyst for innovation and a forum for its dissemination.
