On Siss / Phuss: Ziqi Xu in conversation with Livia Wang
“It’s all because I want to see myself, I want to see those unnoticed moments, how they pass by, what is really happening. So that makes the work very personal.”

When we set up SLAUGHTERHAUS Print Studio in 2010, we named it after the building. Redesigning our website in 2024 was also the perfect time to launch our new name, HAUSPRINT.

Collecting the Looking
“I love drawing really quickly. I love drawing in really difficult situations. I love drawing in the dark. I like what happens when you can’t see everything or when it’s passed and you have to remember it rather than drawing what it actually looks like, so it’s about the experience of looking as much as what I’m looking at.”
We talk to Michelle Avison about building a resilient artistic practice over 30 years.
Artist talk: Sarah Gillett

Sketch
A beautifully drawn soft ground etching by our volunteer technician Mia who graduated in 2023 from Manchester Uni with a first in animation and illustration. Mia’s work is autobiographical and wryly funny – it plays out the day to day anxieties and thoughts of a recent arts graduate trying to find her way in the world.
