Rachel Wingate1
Hard Ground Etching, Mezzotint
Image size: 6 × 7cm
Paper size: 13.5 × 19cm
Edition of 3
Part of an ongoing series made on small scrap plates, these prints combine texture and fine line drawings which respond to the shape of the metal and embrace the unpredictable nature of the etching process. The negative space is as important as the dense black, creating an intimacy and a tension as well as a discussion around the various connotations of holding space/being held within it. This is an extension of Wingate’s career in scenic design, with theatre being a constant source of inspiration to her work especially practitioners such as Pina Bausch and Samuel Beckett who beautifully combine comedy and despair.
