Doors of Perception - Limited Edition of 8 Print

I attended a printmaking workshop at the Slade School of Art in summer 2019. It was a highly productive time and I became entirely focused with working on copper plates. I was learning to balance the dynamics between hard ground etching, aquatint and monotype to build images that could each be hand finished and unique. I like to work on highly detailed surfaces. I also use methods to mystify and obscure the subject matters figurative nature. I think because I am preoccupied with the sensory experience of place and physicality beyond the spatial construct. I take the position of dreamy imagined viewpoint of contemplation to springboard into the depths of personal memory. In making this print I was inspired by the water labyrinths of the Indian palaces of Rajasthan. These were built for entertainment, however I transposed these transient flowing devices into weighty objects, as if encasing great treasure-like knowledge. I wanted to create an object of contemplation, an representation of the illusions in the material world. I made this copperplate aquatint etching as a double mirror print image which is why the edition has variety within it. This was a choice that also lends itself to illustrating the changeable nature of duality. On this plate I used Aquatint to sharply delineate tone and create the illusion of depth and perspective into the surface.I made this copperplate aquatint etching as a double mirror print image which I played with as the edition evolved. As each print is a hand finished original.
