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.

Our Subtle Body
An exhibition of prints by Mia Thompson and Sofia Alrich Veytia. Thompson and Alrich Veytia explore a non-material self, vulnerability and joy through moments of connection to something larger than ourselves. Through the alchemical process of printmaking they invite collective reflection.
The light sees the paper
Kristen Nelson’s prints and photographs explore memory. A feeling of nostalgia and visual references to a remembered landscape connect with home. Using aquatint, a painterly, tonal technique and black and white photography, Nelson’s work illuminates the idea of returning home through the interplay between light and shadow.
