Overview
Neutrino is a 2011 print created by artist Rapp as part of the annual ELP Box project, a collaborative series of small-format prints produced by the East London Printmakers collective. Each work measures roughly 30 × 30 cm and is issued in an edition of forty, forming a portable archive of the group’s output for that year.
Subject & Meaning
The image itself reflects Rapp’s personal visual language, though specific iconography is not detailed in the source material. Within the context of the ELP Box, the work functions as a representative example of contemporary printmaking practice among the collective’s members.
Technique & Style
Produced under the auspices of East London Printmakers, the print was realized using the facilities and equipment available to the collective’s members. While the exact printmaking method (e.g., etching, screen‑print, lithography) is not specified, the work adheres to the small‑scale, high‑quality standards set for the annual boxed set.
History & Provenance
The print was issued as one of forty copies in the 2011 edition of the ELP Box. Proceeds from the sale of the entire edition were allocated to support professional development, workshops, and exhibition programmes organized by the collective in Hackney. Selected copies were donated to public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum.

East London Printmakers, founded in 1998, operates as an independent artist‑run studio in Hackney, offering members access to printmaking facilities, training, and exhibition opportunities. The ELP Box series functions both as an archival record of members’ work and as a fundraising mechanism to sustain the collective’s educational and public‑engagement activities.
