Artwork Description

Etching on paper

Signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

I have aways been drawn to detail and love the small treasures that I have seen on my travels in China, Japan, Turkey... This work is small and detail is important to achieve interest when viewing the work up close but the tonal variation provides drama at a distance. A miniature version of a dragon vase won the Australian Miniature Society's art prize in printmaking.

Two plates have been etched in this work. One contains the women in their surroundings and over this is laid a 'jali' which shelters them and gives seclusion.
A woman sits in solitude, surrounded with exotic beauty. There is however, a suggestion that she is not content and the mood makes us ponder her situation. A message is about to be received and the viewer is left wondering about its impact. 
(A sepia only version is available.)This is a variation in this small edition of 10. The edition is variable as colour has been varied. The plate is covered in hardground then drawn into. This is when the lines are etched. The next process involved etching the tones. A very important step in this particular work. I wanted the image to pop from the dark surroundings. The plate has been inked up in dark prussian blue and been handpulled on my press using Magnani 300gsm etching paper. Watercolour is added in many subtle layers to give a 'glazed' effect.A woman sits in solitude, surrounded with exotic beauty. There is however, a suggestion that she is not content and the mood makes us ponder her situation.A woman pauses in solitude. She is surrounded in comfort yet seems to be so alone and perhaps thinking of loss.
