Tortie Rye

Exploring the relationship between book forms and their content, Tortie's works on paper range from simple book sculptures to the more complex workings of intricately printed and bound limited edition books, games and mail art.

Having studied and worked as a designer in Edinburgh, Tortie is now a Bristol based artist working on both commissions and developing her own personal work. Bringing together screen, relief and digital print, combined with exciting binding, composition and packaging, her strong ideas are executed with fine detail and a great sensitivity to materials and process..

As a founding member and director of SNAP - a printmaking studio, gallery and workshop in Bristol - Tortie works with a group of talented printmakers to exhibit printed artworks and wow the crowds with their skills, at gallery events and at their increasingly popular workshops.
