Drypoint Etching
72 x 52 cm
2026
My work has a narrative that is often unsaid. One of my preoccupations is creating a sense of unease within my work, exploring atmospheric qualities, ambiguity with mystery, hinting at human presence or absence. My aim is to subtly change the truth of light and darkness to amplify uncertainties. When first I walk into a darkened room, my eyes need to adjust; a short period of visual insecurity stimulates ideas: moments that much of my work relates to.
Hopefully my drawings, dry point etchings and more recently aquatint etchings have a physical urgency, the energies required to generate the compositions are retained, enlivening the work with an uneasy breath. An entrance hall or room may contain vague shapes that cannot be identified as friendly or hostile. Purposefully developed and well-practiced observational skills enable me to subtly change the truth of light and darkness, to amplify uncertainties.
