Etching
Etching was originally invented as a method for adding decoration to armour during the Middle Ages. Artists began to use metal plates for printing in the 15th century, when Albrecht Durer made work on iron plates. Later artists such as Andrea Mantegna in Italy and Rembrandt in Holland went on to make etchings on copper.

Collecting the Looking
“I love drawing really quickly. I love drawing in really difficult situations. I love drawing in the dark.

We talk to Michelle Avison about building a resilient artistic practice over 30 years.
