A print using six copper plate etchings on Somerset paper

“In late 2022 I needed a subject matter to build technical skills in etching processes. I reached back to when I first encountered Albrecht Dürer’s pillow sketches (1493 AD) which prompted me a few years ago to try drawing some pillows myself. It’s not easy! Soon my subject matter emerged as representational images of my own living space. I feel the intimacy of the etching process aligns well with these quiet images. They intend to capture a fleeting moment in time, asking the viewer to enter the scene. ”
