Judy Watson - Spine 4 2000

Etching
33 x 25 cm
Signed, titled, dated and numbered 17/30
Framed

This print belongs to a four-part series (with 'Spine 1', 'Spine 2' and 'Spine 3') through which Watson continues her exploration into archetypal symbols and motifs which connect her practice to her own Aboriginal artistic heritage and to contemporary discourses on museology, archaeology, anthroplogy, etc., and how these disciplines impact on Indigenous aspirations and experience. Watson's stark spine motif is a symbol of strength and loss against an evocative background through which her characteristic whorl-like forms appear. 

This etching was produced by a process known as chine colle in which Japanese iwake rice paper forms an additional texture and printing surface. It was produced while the artist was a resident of the NT and a part-time painting lecturer at the Charles Darwin University's School of Art & Design. 

In Store pickup only. Available early December.
