About Clockworks Press
Clockworks Press™ was founded in 2016 by Brooklyn-based artist and printmaker Holly E. Brown. Ms. Brown’s graphic prints and drawings are inspired by architecture, and balance the rhythm between the rawness of reality and the abstract. Through her dynamic compositions Ms. Brown’s work evokes a precise structure and control of the urban environment. Using a reductive approach to collagraph printmaking she juxtaposes a positive and negative environment where space, form, and perspective are carefully interwoven.
Ms. Brown received a B.F.A. from Syracuse University and an M.A. from Brooklyn College. Her solo exhibition “Recente Werken” at Ray Brandstore, a denim boutique in Delft (2016) debuted her work in the Netherlands and sparked her strong interest in working with repurposed denim and creating a more sustainable printmaking practice.
She has exhibited in several group shows throughout the United States and Europe. Ms. Brown was an Artist-in-Residence at Grafische Werkplaats, The Hague (2016) and The Cooper Union, NYC (2005).
Ms. Brown’s prints can be found in the permanent collections of The Library of Congress, Yale University and Princeton University among others. She collaborated with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Charles Simic on the portfolios "The Pieces of the Clock Lie Scattered" and "Three Poems." Ms. Brown currently splits her time between Brooklyn and The Hague.
In addition to running Clockworks Press, Ms. Brown has been a full-time art teacher at the Convent of the Sacred Heart for 18 years and teaches printmaking workshops at Atelier Indrukwekkend in Delft, Netherlands.
