Edition One is Ogonga Thom’s first prints only exhibition in four years and is a result of 6 months experiments of 100% fully handmade limited edition wood cut prints.
In the selection of prints on show, Ogonga is “exploring conventional wood cut print making with emphasis on the technical process while playfully working on studies of the female form and at times creating prints inspired by painting processes” to create ‘prints that look like paintings.’
