Sydney McBride is a printmaking artist primarily working in linocut relief prints using the reduction technique where the image is carved and printed from a single block in multiple layers. Printmaking as a medium is integral to her artistic practice as it mimics the repetitive nature of memory collection and transformation that is the central theme of her art. Places and objects from everyday life that may otherwise be taken for granted are given center stage in order to examine the meaning and feelings that they evoke. Her work encourages quiet contemplation on these objects and experiences found in everyday life and how they may gain meaning over time as we seek to understand our inner lives and the world around us. While the imagery used in her work is varied, it is always centered around personal memories and with an emphasis on intricate detail.
