Artist's Statement:
Etching is an important part of my work as an artist. It appeals to me as a ‘sculptural drawing' practice, by which I mainly mean that it takes drawing into the third dimension. I am attracted to the way the metal can be shaped by the action of the mordant, by the results of loss of control of the process, as much as by attempts at imposing control on it. I am interested in it as much for the look of the plate as the possibilities of the print, and in the relationship of the materials, metal to paper.
I've used etching as particularly suited to imagery with a more narrative feel that I was making before, but the series of etchings, Figure 6, allowed me to begin working through these material interests, and their relationship with the images.
