Herrnhutt Commune imagines a study group devoted to Australia’s first commune. Founded in 1852 and located near Hamilton in Victoria, the commune was run as an intentional community until the end of the nineteenth century. The orange and yellow graphic shows a woman harvesting carrots and pays homage to the daily communal practices of cultivating, preserving and cooking on the commune. Each of the four works comprising Emily Floyd’s suite of prints All Day Workshops is a proposal for a workshop exploring ideas of social freedom, co-operative learning and open communication. These large-scale posters combine stylised illustrations with the artist’s geometric typography. Each work in All Day Workshops extends Floyd’s investigation into learning and play as a form of expanded sculpture. In 2012, to celebrate the Australian Print Workshop 30th anniversary six Australian artists including Emily Floyd were commissioned to create a suite of works for a series of exhibitions under the title ‘Catalyst’. Floyd’s works are three colour plate lithographs, printed from three photo-litho plates. Printed at the Australian Print Workshop in an edition of 20 plus proofs in collaboration with APW Senior Printer Martin King and assisted by APW Trainee Printer Eliza Turnbull. stonnington contemporary art collection, printmaking, lithograph, geometric, typography, emily floyd, social freedom, work on paper, herrnhut commune

Emily Floyd is a Melbourne-based artist who works across sculpture, printmaking and public installation. In It’s Time (Again), Floyd graphically presents Gough Whitlam’s election speech, delivered before he became Prime Minster in 1972. Floyd’s training as a graphic designer is evident in the way in which the text’s presentation ties form to meaning. For example, the circular arrangement of the words resembles a vinyl record to be played again and again, implying the speech is worth revisiting. The circular arrangement also references other forms of timekeeping, such as the growth rings of a tree; the face of a clock; the cyclical nature of time, with its diurnal, lunar, seasonal and annual cycles. Floyd's work implies that social and political issues are cyclical in nature. It emphasises the necessity, once again, for proactive measures to ensure a quality, human-centered existence for everyone.
