SILVERBELL (2010)

Mezzotint and etching 150x150 mm, from an edition of 15

Based upon tales my late grandmother told me as a child, I felt the need to commemorate her life the best way I knew how. 'Silver Bell' and 'The Yellow Ribbon' were my two favourite stories, there were many others but I never tired from hearing her retell these ones to me. They have in affect influenced my artwork greatly. The mezzotint lends itself well in creating an eerie and dark world of caution.
