Description: | Consisting of approximately equal proportions of positive and negative space, this piece is based on light and shadow. Spaces in the cast shadow of this object fight for our focus, which moves between the shadow and the space in-between. The texture and perforations are etched. Etching involves exposing a metal plate to acid, usually through immersion. The steel plate is firstly prepared with 'ground' - an acid resist, removed in part in order to expose certain areas whilst the ground protects the remaining surface. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1997 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Hiroshi Suzuki | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
