On 1st September 1988, the OPC technician Joanna Gorner applied to the Southern Arts Association Visual Arts Panel for a grant towards the cost of a short term residency by Helen Chadwick, an artist of considerable experience and reputation.
The project took the form of experimental printmaking, with Helen working closely with the members of the print workshop, drawing on their technical experience to develop new techniques and media in printmaking, including printing on sheepskin.

The OPC assisted Helen Chadwick with her installation 'Lamps' at the Marlene Eleini Gallery which coincided with the major international show at the Victoria & Albert Museum called "Photography Now’ in which Helen Chadwick’s exhibit "Of Mutability" an installation recently purchased by the museum for its permanent collection, was included.
She also contributed to both parts of "Towards A Bigger Picture" (1987), an exhibition at the V & A on British photography which was at the Tate Gallery in Liverpool. Nominated for the Turner Prize in 1987 and exhibited widely in 1988, Helen Chadwick’s exhibition venues, mixed and solo, were many in number and varied. Later on in the year, Secker & Warburg brought out a book on Helen Chadwick’s work.
Many thanks to Edward Woodman and The Oxford Printmakers Co-op for their assistance.
