Artist Statement
My works in this exhibition vary in approach and medium. They include “Anemone” a traditional single copper plate etching with a colour rollup and “Bay of Fires” two zinc plate colour etching. Two mixed media works “Sublime Space” and “Sublime Chaos” incorporating watercolour washes, evocative etching shapes and encaustic wax. These two mixed media works bridge for my printmaking and painting practice.
In 1983 my youngest daughter started school and I went back to college for a year to refresh my printmaking. This etching was the first I made that year. I chose to include it because I realized the new larger works I’ve made this year resonated with it’s colours and spaciousness.
