This piece has stemmed from the idea of creating memory. Although on it’s own it is a pretty floral print perhaps, it is however, a strong visual image of a room in a house that has many memories and feelings for me and my sisters. This is a recreation of the wallpaper in my Nana’s bedroom. She has been gone for well over 20 years now and although there are many stories and visual memories of her as a person – this image is more the memory of her home.
The print was a hard ground etching and was quite time consuming. Something seemed to go wrong with one of the sections of the plate, which I didn’t discover until right at the end of the etching. Once printed I had to re-etch areas.
